PATRICK KEEBLER,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

Summary appeal from the Circuit Court for Hernando County.
Daniel B. Merritt, Jr., Judge.

PER CURIAM.

     In 2016, Appellant filed a rule 3.850 motion for postconviction
relief in which he sought resentencing. The postconviction court
granted the motion. See Keebler v. State, 286 So. 3d 385 (Fla. 5th
DCA 2019). The resentencing did not occur, and earlier this year,
the postconviction court granted the State’s motion to rescind the
pending resentencing based on new developments in the
substantive decisional law. Appellant challenges the court’s order,
arguing the court lacked authority to revisit its 2016 order
granting resentencing under rule 3.850. We agree. See Morgan v.
State, 350 So. 3d 712, 716–18 (Fla. 2022); State v. Jackson, 306 So.
3d 936, 942–43 (Fla. 2020); Taylor v. State, 140 So. 3d 526, 528–29
(Fla. 2014). Accordingly, we reverse the order on appeal and
remand the matter to the postconviction court with directions to
conduct the resentencing proceeding that the court previously
granted.

    REVERSED and REMANDED.

JAY, SOUD, and MACIVER, JJ., concur.
