Supreme Court of Florida

Darryl Len Morgan v. State of Florida

November 3, 2022350 So. 3d 712

Summary

The court held that an order granting relief under rule 3.800(a) and determining that a sentence is illegal is nonfinal until the corrected sentence is imposed. Because judicial labor remains outstanding, the trial court may reconsider the order before resentencing, including in response to a change in governing law. The court approved the Second District's decision and disapproved conflicting decisions.
