Dowell v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Sep 11, 2009
17 So. 3d 343 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2009)

Opinion

No. 5D09-1284.

September 11, 2009.

3.800 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Brevard County, George Turner, Judge.

Robert L. Dowell, Okeechobee, pro se.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Anthony J. Golden, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.


We find no error in the trial court's summary denial of Robert Dowell's motion to correct illegal sentence, filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Dowell's motion challenged his consecutive sentences as illegal, alleging a double jeopardy violation based upon the facts related to his underlying convictions. Because Dowell's motion did not "allege with particularity both the non-hearsay record documents that show an error on the face of the record, and `how and where' the record demonstrates [that] the consecutive sentences" violate double jeopardy, Theophile v. State, 967 So.2d 948, 949 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007), Dowell's motion was facially insufficient. Id.

AFFIRMED.

PALMER, ORFINGER and LAWSON, JJ., concur.
