Lawayne Henderson v. State of Florida

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

No. 1D18-3098

LAWAYNE HENDERSON,

Appellant, v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee.

_____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Taylor County. Gregory S. Parker, Judge.

October 30, 2019 PER CURIAM.

REVERSED. See Simmons v. State, 274 So. 3d 468 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (holding that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to rescind an order granting resentencing once it became a final, appealable order, and neither party timely moved for rehearing of the order under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(b)(1)(B)).

As in Simmons, we quash the order on appeal and remand with directions that the trial court reinstate the order granting Appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion. The trial court should then resentence Appellant to a lawful sentence.

OSTERHAUS, BILBREY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.

_____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.
