KNOTT v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Julius Keith KNOTT, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.

No. 1D20-1612

Decided: August 03, 2020

Julius Keith Knott, pro se, Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Because the purpose of a motion filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) “is to provide a mechanism to raise and preserve all sentencing errors” for direct appeal, Harvey v. State, 848 So. 2d 1060, 1066 (Fla. 2003) (Pariente, J., specially concurring), the order is not separately appealable. Accordingly, this petition seeking a belated appeal from the order denying Petitioner's rule 3.800(b)(2) motion, which was filed in his direct appeal, 1D18-2147, is hereby dismissed as unauthorized.

Per Curiam.

Osterhaus, Kelsey, and Jay, JJ., concur.
