Perry Joseph v. State of Florida
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 5, 2015 · Warner, Taylor, Conner
174 So. 3d 1032; 2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 11733; 2015 WL 4637138 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Perry Joseph v. State of Florida

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Perry Joseph appeals the denial of his amended rule 3.850 motion. The trial court denied the amended motion for lack of jurisdiction because appellant had filed an appeal of the denial of his prior post-conviction challenge. The trial court should not have denied the motion for lack of jurisdiction. See Jackman v. State, 88 So.3d 325, 327 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012). On remand, the trial court is free to consider whether the amended rule 3.850 motion is meritorious as well as whether the amended motion is procedurally barred and may be - dismissed as successive or untimely.

Reversed and remanded.

WARNER, TAYLOR and CONNER, JJ., concur.
