SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

LEVI JONATHAN,

Appellant,

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County. Cassandra L. Denmark, Judge.

September 19, 2025

WHITE, J.

Levi Jonathan appeals after the trial court denied his motion to withdraw plea

after sentencing. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction the challenge to the trial court’s

denial of Jonathan’s motion to dismiss counsel because it is not dispositive. See

Arena v. State, 376 So. 3d 78, 78–79 (Fla. 6th DCA 2023) (citing Fla. R. App. P.

9.140(b)(2)(A)(i)). We reverse the provisions of the trial court’s order rendered on

June 12, 2025, that reinstated the original first page of the order of probation rendered on December 21, 2023, because that original first page erroneously stated

that Jonathan entered a plea of guilty. Otherwise, we affirm without further

discussion.1

AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part; and REVERSED in part.

TRAVER, C.J., and SMITH, J., concur.

Levi Jonathan, Frostproof, pro se.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and J. Wade Stidham, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF TIMELY FILED

1 Our affirmance includes, but is not limited to, the corrected order of probation rendered on March 28, 2024. 2
