Planas v. State
Planas v. State
Opinion of the Court
We affirm the trial court's order, which denied Planas' Motion to Correct an Unlawful Sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). The motion, while purportedly seeking to correct an illegal sentence, was instead an attack on both the conviction and the sentence. A motion under rule 3.800(a) is not available where, as here, the defendant seeks to challenge the validity of the conviction (and, by extension, the "legality" of the sentence). Lopez v. State,
Affirmed.
