Holding

A trial court lacks jurisdiction to rescind an order granting resentencing once it becomes a final, appealable order, and may only do so through a timely motion for rehearing under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(b)(1)(B).

Opinion of the Court

August 30, 2019 PER CURIAM.

REVERSED. See Simmons v. State, 274 So. 3d 468 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (holding that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to rescind an order granting resentencing once it became a final, appealable order, and neither party timely moved for rehearing of the order under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(b)(1)(B)).

As in Simmons, we quash the order on appeal and remand with directions that the trial court reinstate the order granting Appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion. The trial court should then resentence Appellant to a lawful sentence.

ROWE, OSTERHAUS, and BILBREY, JJ., concur.

    …v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012). On appeal, Appellant asserts that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to deny his motion because it had already granted the motion when it appointed counsel for resentencing. Appellant’s reliance on Simmons v. State, 274 So. 3d 468 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019), does not entitle him to relief. This Court has recently receded from Simmons and held that an order granting a 3.800(a) motion is not a final appealable order. See Rogers v. State, 45 Fla. L. Weekly D1069 (Fla. 1st DCA May 1, 20…
