801 So. 2d 1055 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2001)

Opinion

Case No. 1D01-1114

Opinion filed December 26, 2001.

An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County. Thomas T. Remington, Judge.

Appellant, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and James W. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


The appellant challenges an order denying his motion seeking prison credit filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. We reverse and remand for the trial court to either attach portions of the record conclusively refuting the appellant's allegations that he was not awarded credit for the initial time served on the incarcerative portion of his "split sentence," or to grant the requested relief. See Robinson v. State, 786 So.2d 651 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001); Layman v. State, 787 So.2d 44 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

REVERSED and REMANDED.


The appellant challenges the trial court's summary denial of his motion to correct illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). We reverse and remand.

The appellant claims an entitlement to jail-credit in case number 00-71CF for all the time he spent in jail from March 2, 2000, the date that he surrendered his bond in that case, to September 7, 2000, the date that he was sentenced. The trial court summarily denied the appellant's facially sufficient motion without any supporting attachments. Accordingly, we reverse the order denying relief and remand to the circuit court with directions to either attach record excerpts that conclusively establish that the appellant is not entitled to the credit he seeks, or to grant the relief sought. See State v. Mancino, 714 So.2d 429 (Fla. 1998); Diggs v. State, 727 So.2d 346 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999); Davenport v. State, 664 So.2d 323 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

DAVIS, BENTON and BROWNING, JJ. CONCUR.
