P.R.T. v. State
P.R.T. v. State
Opinion of the Court
On appeal, P.R.T., challenges the volun-tariness of his plea. P.R.T. pleaded guilty
P.R.T. filed a motion to withdraw his plea, but later abandoned it. A defendant who pleaded guilty may directly appeal a violation of a plea agreement only if “preserved by a motion to withdraw plea.” Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(b)(2)(A)(ii)b. By abandoning the motion to withdraw plea in the trial court, P.R.T. has failed to preserve his claim for review. See State v. T.G., 800 So.2d 204, 210 (Fla. 2001) (“[Jjuveniles pleading guilty ... may directly appeal an involuntary plea only if it is preserved by a motion to withdraw plea in the trial court.”).
This appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
