PER CURIAM.
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
We deny the appellantโs motion for rehearing. However, we withdraw our
prior per curiam affirmance with citations issued August 19, 2020 and substitute the
following in its place.
Affirmed. Melton v. State, 45 Fla. L. Weekly D1296 (Fla. 1st DCA May 29,
2020) (holding that because resentencing had not yet occurred, the court retained
jurisdiction to reconsider its order granting resentencing based on an intervening
change in the law); Adams v. State, 949 So. 2d 1125, 1126 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007)
(holding that when a trial court grants a 3.800(a) motion, it has not granted the
defendant any collateral relief until it resentences him as the order granting a
3.800(a) motion is not a final order) (citing State v. Delvalle, 745 So. 2d 541, 542
(Fla. 4th DCA 1999)); Rogers v. State, 296 So. 3d 500 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020)
(concluding that orders granting relief under rule 3.800(a) are not final or appealable,
and so the trial court retains its inherent authority to reconsider such orders); Morgan
v. State, 293 So. 3d 1081 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020) (holding that order granting
defendant's motion to correct illegal sentence but not yet resentencing defendant was
not final, appealable order).
