488 So. 2d 119 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1986)

Opinion

No. 85-2123.

April 30, 1986.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; Edward F. Threadgill, Jr., Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and John T. Kilcrease, Jr., Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Candance M. Sunderland, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


Defendant contends on appeal that the trial court erred in failing to give proper credit for time served as a youthful offender. We agree.

The record is clear that defendant was entitled to credit in that regard. See State v. Holmes, 360 So.2d 380 (Fla. 1978), and Sims v. State, 369 So.2d 431 (Fla. 2d DCA 1979). He did not receive it.

Reversed and remanded for proceedings consistent herewith.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and LEHAN and FRANK, JJ., concur.
