Donald M. Narron, pro se.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Stewart J. Bellus, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
Upon review we conclude that the appellant had a fundamental right to receive credit for the time he served in jail applied against the sentence imposed upon his conviction.
