Keifner v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 16, 2005 · Gross, Polen, Shahood
896 So. 2d 955; 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 3542; 2005 WL 602638 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Keifner v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s denial of appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion alleging that he was improperly sentenced in absentia while incarcerated on unrelated charges, without prejudice to his filing a timely rule 8.850 motion in proper form, in light of Zuluaga v. State, 793 So.2d 60 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) (claims of improper sentencing in absentia are properly raised in a rule 3.850 motion). We do not have a sufficient record to determine whether, if appellant does file a rule 3.850 motion, it would be successive under rule 3.850(f), and this opinion should not be construed as deciding that issue.

POLEN, SHAHOOD and GROSS, JJ., concur.
