FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                 STATE OF FLORIDA
                  _____________________________

                         No. 1D2023-1797
                  _____________________________

ZACHARY A. WILLIAMS,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                  _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Stephen S. Everett, Judge.

                           April 24, 2024

PER CURIAM.

    Appellant’s motion was untimely under Florida Rule of
Criminal Procedure 3.850. Moreover, a failure by the State to serve
written notice of intent to habitualize does not result in an illegal
sentence, and a claim based on such a failure is not cognizable
under rule 3.800(a). See Gary v. State, 276 So. 3d 401, 402 (Fla. 1st
DCA 2019) (“[A] challenge to the procedure that led to the
imposition of the punishment is not cognizable in a rule 3.800(a)
proceeding.”). AFFIRMED.

B.L. THOMAS, RAY, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.
                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________

Zachary A. Williams, pro se, Appellant.
