    Dexter GUNN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D06-3915.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 27, 2006.
    Rehearing Denied Feb. 20, 2007.
    Dexter Gunn, Punta Gorda, pro se.
    No appearance required for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s summary denial of the motion for postconviction relief, but not its dismissal. We agree with the defendant that a trial court should review the merits of a postconviction motion, even if untimely, which raises a jurisdictional issue that was not previously considered on the merits. See Brown v. State, 917 So.2d 272 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005) (reversing summary denial of rule 3.850 motion, and holding that the trial court was required to address the merits of defendant’s motions for postconviction relief where they raised jurisdictional issues that were not previously raised, as a void judgment may be collaterally attacked at any time). However, the ground for the instant motion lacks merit. The Broward County circuit court, where the defendant was prosecuted for felonies alleged to have been committed in Broward County, did not lack subject matter jurisdiction to rule on a motion to suppress evidence sought to be used in that case, see § 26.012(2)(d), Fla. Stat. (1989), even though the motion was based on the allegedly pretextual nature of a traffic stop, which also resulted in unrelated charges which were prosecuted in the county court.

Affirmed.
