Head Matter:
Samuel JONES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
CASE NO. 1D17-0614
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Opinion filed March 31, 2017.
Samuel Jones, pro se, Appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Kaitlin Weiss and Virginia Hams, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant seeks review of the circuit court's January 31, 2017, Order Denying Defendant's Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence. Because appellant's direct appeal of judgment and sentence is pending, the trial court was without jurisdiction to rule on appellant's motion. See Buckhalter v. State, 168 So.3d 348 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).
Accordingly, we quash the order denying appellant's motion.
WOLF, MAKAR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR.
