Appellant challenges the trial court’s dismissal of his rule 3.800(a) motion for lack of jurisdiction. The trial court found that because appellant had a pending appeal of the trial court’s order denying his rule 3.800(a) motion, the trial court was without jurisdiction to hear appellant’s instant postconviction motion. However, as no appeal was pending with this Court, the trial court had jurisdiction to entertain appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion. Cf Bates v. State, 704 So.2d 562, 563 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997); Kimmel v. State, 629 So.2d 1110, 1111 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). Accordingly, the trial court’s order is reversed and appellant’s motion is remanded to the trial court for consideration on the merits.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
