Robert LOVETT, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 2D02-4859.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
August 8, 2003.
SALCINES, Judge.
Robert Lovett appeals the order which dismissed his motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). The trial court dismissed the motion because an appeal was pending from an earlier order denying a previously filed motion to correct illegal sentence. Because the trial court did have jurisdiction to consider the current motion, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
