FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                 STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                        No. 1D2022-4013
                 _____________________________

KRISTOPHER LEE MADSON,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County.
James M. Colaw, Judge.

                        December 6, 2023

PER CURIAM.

     Because the direct appeal was already pending with this
Court (1D22-3299), the trial court lacked jurisdiction to decide the
merits of Appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion. See Lowe v. State, 152
So. 3d 1279, 1280 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (“[W]e quash the orders
denying the motion because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to
rule on the motion while the direct appeal of Appellant’s judgment
and sentence in these cases was pending in this court.”).

    ORDER QUASHED.

ROBERTS, ROWE, and LONG, JJ., concur.
                _____________________________

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

Kristopher Lee Madson, pro se, Appellant.

Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
