Opinion

Affirmed. See Johnson v. State, 50 So. 3d 77, 78–79 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (affirming trial courts denial of rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence without prejudice to permit appellant to seek relief through proper and timely motion to withdraw the plea under rule 3.850); State v. Huerta, 38 So. 3d 883, 885 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (finding appeal was not cognizable under rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence); see also Haynes v. State, 106 So. 3d 481, 482 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013) (“But while [appellant] sought relief under rule 3.800(a) to obtain correction of his sentence, he was actually challenging the terms of his plea agreement and the resulting convictions. As the sentence was the product of a negotiated plea, the remedy is not to correct the illegal sentence, but rather a motion under [rule] 3.850 to set aside the plea, vacate the judgment and sentence, and reinstitute all charges pending against [appellant] prior to entry of the plea.”) (internal citations omitted).
