Head Matter:
John Angus WRIGHT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 94-1693.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Oct. 5, 1994.
Rehearing Denied Nov. 3, 1994.
John Angus Wright, pro se appellant.
No appearance for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order of the trial court of March 24, 1994, denying appellant's rule 3.800 motion for correction of illegal sentence. On April 1st appellant mailed his motion for rehearing,-which was recorded as filed on April 5 and denied by order of April 12,1994. Notice of this appeal was filed May 12, 1994.
Though it has been held that a motion for rehearing is an authorized motion in rule 3.850 cases, it is not authorized in rule 3.800 eases. Thus, a motion for rehearing fails to toll the time for appealing from an adverse judgment in a rule 3.800 case. See Campbell v. State, 637 So.2d 80 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994); Jones v. State, 635 So.2d 989 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994); Newman v. State, 610 So.2d 455 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).
Accordingly, this appeal, filed fifty-one days after rendition of the order sought to be reviewed, is untimely filed and this court lacks jurisdiction to review the lower court's order.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HERSEY and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
FARMER, J., concurs specially with opinion.
