Summary of this case from Burke v. StateOpinion
Case No. 4D02-2070
Opinion filed August 14, 2002. Rehearing Denied October 1, 2002.
Appeal of order denying rule 3.800(a) motion from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Dorian K. Damoorgian, Judge; L.T. Case Nos. 99-23052 CF10A 98-24495 CF10A.
Eccles Mayo, Immokalee, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Claudine M. LaFrance, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
Eccles Mayo, Appellant, timely challenges the trial court's denial of his rule 3.800(a) motion for jail credit. Appellant's motion complied with Toro v. State, 719 So.2d 947, 948 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998). Furthermore, the records attached to the trial court's order denying relief appear to be nothing more than clerk's notes and do not conclusively refute the claim. Accordingly, we reverse and remand to the trial court for attachment of records conclusively refuting the claim, if such is possible. If the record available to the trial court establishes that Appellant is entitled to the credit he requests, the court shall award him the jail credit. If the record does not refute the claim and an evidentiary hearing is necessary, the motion should be denied without prejudice to Appellant raising a timely motion for postconviction relief, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.
