IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA ANTONIO JOHNSON, Appellant, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D05-2517 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed July 3, 2006. An appeal from the circuit court for Columbia County. E. Vernon Douglas, Judge. Antonio Johnson, pro se, Appellant. Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Paulette R. Taylor, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Because appellant s petition for writ of habeas corpus was not filed in the sentencing court, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to address it. See e.g., Crockett v. Singletary, 723 So. 2d 911 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). We affirm the trial court s denial of the petition on that basis, without prejudice to appellant s right to file a proper postconviction motion in the appropriate court. AFFIRMED. ERVIN, WEBSTER, and THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
