Winfred Lee Lovelace v. State Florida

The defendant's appeal from the denial of his Motion for Correction of Illegal Sentence is dismissed. This court does not have jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a trial court order which has not been reduced to writing and filed with the clerk. See Billie v. State, 473 So.2d 34 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985). See also Hunter v. State, 583 So.2d 369 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991); State v. Bolick, 512 So.2d 960 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). The defendant has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court, Case No. 94-915. Pending the outcome of that petition and the entry of a written order by the trial court, the defendant may timely refile a notice of appeal. Baskin and Gersten, JJ., concur.
