984 So. 2d 555 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2008)

Opinion

No. 4D08-35.

May 7, 2008. Rehearing Denied June 25, 2008.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Ilona M. Holmes, Judge; L.T. Case No. 02-11406 CF 10 A.

Jesse Racene, Century, Pro Se.

No appearance for appellee.


The defendant appeals the summary denial of his Rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence. He attempted to challenge the admission of a Department of Corrections affidavit to establish his release date as a predicate for Prison Releasee Reoffender sentencing. However, this is not an issue that can be raised by a Rule 3.800(a) motion. Rather, this issue should have been raised at sentencing, on direct appeal, or possibly by a Rule 3.850 ineffective assistance of counsel claim. The time for those remedies having now passed in this case, the defendant's claim is procedurally barred.

Affirmed.

WARNER, POLEN and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
