Supreme Court of Florida

Trial courts are not required to notify defendants of the time limit for an appeal of a final order resolving a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Also, if a trial court does not notify a defendant of the time limit for such an appeal, Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c)(4) does not entitle the defendant to seek a belated appeal.
