¶1Antonio Johnson, pro se, Appellant.

¶2Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Paulette R. Taylor, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4Because 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 post-conviction motion in the appropriate court.

¶5AFFIRMED.

¶6ERVIN, WEBSTER, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
