FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D16-2188 _____________________________ LIDALE R. KELLUM, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Bay County.

Hentz McClellan, Judge.

May 18, 2018

PER CURIAM.

Lidale R. Kellum appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion seeking postconviction relief based on newly discovered evidence.

Because the evidence on which Kellum relied was discoverable at the time of his violation of probation hearing, the trial court properly denied the motion. See Rutherford v. State, 926 So. 2d 1100, 1107 (Fla. 2006) (holding that newly discovered evidence must be based on facts that were unknown to the trial court, appellant, and his counsel at the time of trial and that neither the appellant nor his counsel could have discovered the facts through the exercise of due diligence).

AFFIRMED.

B.L. THOMAS, C.J., and ROWE and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
