April 10, 2026

WOZNIAK, J.

The parties properly concede that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to rule on

Scott’s motion to correct illegal sentence during the pendency of his direct appeal,

which has now resolved. 1 See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(a)(1). Accordingly, we reverse

the order granting Scott’s motion. Our reversal is without prejudice to Scott’s filing

1 See Scott v. State, 397 So. 3d 721 (Fla. 6th DCA 2024). a renewed motion under rule 3.800. We express no opinion on the merits of the

motion.

REVERSED.

WHITE and SMITH, JJ., concur.

Blair Allen, Public Defender, and Susan M. Shanahan, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Stephen R. Putnam, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
