BROWN v. STATE

No. 98-1483.

735 So.2d 496 (1998)

Antonio BROWN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

October 21, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Appellant, pro se.

Robert Butterworth, Attorney General, and Trisha E. Meggs, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the dismissal of his postconviction motion as untimely. The state concedes and we agree that appellant's motion was timely filed under the mailbox rule, see Haag v. State, 591 So.2d 614 (Fla.1992), and therefore appellant is entitled to have his motion considered on the merits. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.

REVERSED.
