Johnson v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Opinion of the Court
ERVIN, Judge.
The denial of appellant’s 3.850 motion1 is affirmed. Although appellant styled his motion as one seeking relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), he is not challenging the legality of the sentences imposed, but rather is contending that the sentences were imposed in violation of the laws of the state. Such an argument is cognizable under Rule 3.850 rather than Rule 3.800(a). However, as appellant’s motion was filed more than two years after January 1, 1987,2 his motion is untimely and therefore denied.
AFFIRMED.
