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.
