No. 1D2024-0451 _____________________________

ERIC C. MARTINEZ,

Appellant,

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Gilchrist County. James M. Colaw, Judge.

September 11, 2024

PER CURIAM.

A claim alleging the trial court misunderstood its sentencing options is not cognizable under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). See Stephens v. State, 823 So. 2d 180, 181—82 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002) (“Because this claim could have been raised on direct appeal, and the error does not render the appellant’s sentence illegal, it is not cognizable in a postconviction motion under either rule 3.800, or rule 3.850.”). We affirm the order below.

ROBERTS, 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. _____________________________

Eric C. Martinez, pro se, Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
