FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D18-0085
                 _____________________________

KHAMRON ROBINSON,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County.
Leandra G. Johnson, Judge.

                          May 25, 2018

PER CURIAM.

    The Appellant seeks review of an order denying a motion for
postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.850. The State concedes error and we accept the
concession.

     When the trial court entered the order denying the motion,
the Appellant’s direct appeals from the convictions and sentences
he was challenging in the postconviction motion were still
pending in this Court.        Therefore, the trial court lacked
jurisdiction to rule on the motion. See Burch v. State, 721 So. 2d
1198 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998) (holding that trial court lacked
jurisdiction to consider postconviction motion because the direct
appeal was pending). The Appellant’s direct appeals have since
become final. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the trial
court to reconsider the motion after this opinion becomes final.
See McDaniel v. State, 789 So. 2d 1223 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001).

    REVERSED and REMANDED with directions.

WOLF, BILBREY, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.

                _____________________________

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