Head Matter:
Paul J. CARRIN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. AZ-414.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 16, 1984.
Paul J. Carrin, pro se.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
WENTWORTH, Judge.
Appellant seeks review of the denial of his Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief. The motion was filed in the lower court during the penden-cy of appellant's direct appeal; in such circumstances the lower court is without jurisdiction to grant post-conviction relief and such a motion is therefore properly denied. See Hurst v. State, 379 So.2d 434 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980). Should appellant desire to pursue such relief during the pend-ency of a direct appeal a request may be filed in the appellate court to temporarily relinquish jurisdiction for the lower court to consider a Rule 3.850 motion.
The order appealed is affirmed without prejudice to appellant's ability to present the issues raised in a proper Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.850 motion.
SHIVERS and NIMMONS, JJ., concur.
