Before SUAREZ, C.J., and WELLS and FERNANDEZ, JJ.

      SUAREZ, C.J.

                        ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

      The State of Florida moves for rehearing of this Court’s denial of its motion

to recall the August 29, 2014 mandate in order to allow appellate review of
transcripts from a Rule 3.850 evidentiary hearing. Although we grant the State’s

motion for rehearing, withdraw our prior November 3, 2016 opinion and substitute

it with the following, we do so solely to correct the legal basis for denying the

State’s motion to recall the mandate.

      We agree with the State that State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co. v. Judges of the

District Court, 405 So. 2d 980, 982 (Fla. 1981) is no longer valid in light of the

Florida State legislature’s repeal of Florida Statute section 35.10 by Laws 2013, c.

2013-25, § 1, effective January 1, 2014. That repeal eliminated terms of court for

purposes of recalling an appellate mandate.       The Court’s ability to recall a

mandate, however, is still limited by Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.340(a),

which states that “the court may direct the clerk to recall the mandate, but not more

than 120 days after its issuance.” Because the State moved to recall the mandate

more than 120 days from its issuance on August 29, 2014, this Court is without

jurisdiction to recall the mandate.

      Motion for rehearing granted and denial of the motion to recall the mandate

and to reopen the case affirmed.
