Opinion

No. 98-1938.

October 29, 1998.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County; Kim A. Skievaski, Judge.

Ronald Patrick Mitchell, Appellant, pro se.

Robert Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to Rule 3.800(c), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, is addressed to the discretion of the trial court. This court therefore has no jurisdiction to review the correctness of the trial court's disposition of the motion. See Daniels v. State, 568 So.2d 63 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990).

BARFIELD, C.J., and ALLEN and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
