## Opinion text

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________

No. 1D19-733
_____________________________

WILLIAM BROWN,

Appellant,

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee.
_____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Tatiana Salvador, Judge.

September 9, 2019

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order dismissing Appellant’s second
motion for postconviction relief on the ground that the trial court
lacked jurisdiction to entertain the motion during the pendency of
Appellant’s appeal from the denial of his first motion for
postconviction relief. The State properly concedes that the trial
court had jurisdiction to rule on Appellant’s second postconviction
motion where the issue raised in that motion was unrelated to the
issues raised in his prior postconviction motion. See Rhow v. State,
264 So. 3d 288 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019). Accordingly, we reverse and
remand for further proceedings.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

WOLF, ROBERTS, and JAY, JJ., concur.
_____________________________

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

William Brown, pro se, Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Anne C. Conley, Assistant
Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
