How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that the two-year time limitation of rule 3.850(b) did not begin to run until the direct appeal process on defendant’s life sentence on remand concluded
  • noting that if the defendant filed his postconviction motion during the pen-dency of the appeal in this court, the trial court would have been without jurisdiction to entertain it
  • noting that the trial court would not have had jurisdiction to consider the merits of a rule 3.850 motion filed during the pendency of an appeal from a sentence that the trial court had imposed on remand from a successful direct appeal of the original sentence
  • rejecting an interpretation of rule 3.850 identical to that adopted by the trial court below because such an interpretation could result in the defendant forfeiting his post-conviction rights by exercising the right to appeal his sentence
