Bond v. State

Appellant has sought review of an order of the circuit court denying four motions seeking discovery in appellant’s post-conviction proceeding. Because the court has not yet rendered a final order disposing of appellant’s motion for post-conviction relief, however, we conclude that the appeal is premature.

A trial court has discretion to allow limited discovery in post-conviction proceedings, and review of an interlocutory ruling on discovery is available in the appeal from the final order disposing of the motion for post-conviction relief. See Davis v. State, 624 So.2d 282 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993)…
