Having considered the appellant’s response to this court’s order dated September 26, 2003, we dismiss this appeal as premature. The appellant may file a time*1251ly notice of appeal after the trial court has rendered a final order on his 3.800(a) motion. The appellant’s motion to relinquish jurisdiction, filed on October 8, 2008, is denied. See Maxwell v. Nugget Oil, Inc., 744 So.2d 1203 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).
