Jacqueaveion Davis, pro se.

We reverse the order summarily denying the motion filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.853 and remand for the postconviction court to enter an order dismissing the motion as unauthorized. See Davis v. State, 421 So. 3d 876, 876 (Fla. 2d DCA 2025) (holding that the postconviction court should have dismissed the appellant's rule 3.853 motion as unauthorized “because section 925.11(1)(a)1, Florida Statutes (2020), does not authorize postconviction DNA testing for defendants who have pled guilty or nolo contendere to felony offenses”).

Reversed and remanded with instructions

PER CURIAM.

VILLANTI, MORRIS, and SMITH, JJ., Concur.
