PER CURIAM.
The defendant appeals an order denying as untimely his rule 3.853 motion for post-conviction DNA testing. In light of the State's concession that the motion was timely filed, we reverse and remand for further consideration on the merits.
We affirm the denial of his rule 3.800(a) motion to correct an illegal sentence.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part.
