Appellant appeals the order summarily denying her Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.800(a) Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence. In denying Appellant’s motion,
the postconviction court relied on Graham v. State, 160 So. 3d 108, 109 (Fla. 4th DCA
2015). Unlike in Graham, the trial court in this case lacked jurisdiction to enter a restitution
order while Appellant’s direct appeal was pending.
Outcome: Accordingly, we reverse the order under review and remand this case to the trial court to conduct a new restitution hearing.
