Anthony TAYLOR a/k/a Kevin White, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D05-1107.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    June 8, 2005.
    Anthony Taylor a/k/a Kevin White, Sanderson, pro se.
    No appearance required for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The trial court erred in denying appellant’s post-conviction motion as successive. Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.850(f). We reverse and remand for further proceedings.

Appellant voluntarily dismissed his first post-conviction motion before the trial court ruled on the merits. Accordingly, the subsequently filed motion was not successive. Watson v. State, 754 So.2d 129 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); Bryant v. State, 737 So.2d 599 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
