DECISION AND JUDGMENT
OSOWIK, J.
{¶ 1} This is an appeal of a January 19, 2023 journalized judgment of the Wood County Court of Common Pleas imposing a prison sentence of 18 months at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections on appellant after a hearing on a community control violation of an underlying conviction of Attempted Having Weapons Under Disability, in violation of R.C. 2923.02, 2923.13(A)(3) and 2923.13(B), a felony of the fourth degree.
{¶ 2} We sua sponte place this matter on the accelerated calendar pursuant to App.R. 11.1(A), and this judgment entry is not an opinion of the court. See S.Ct.R.Op.3.1; App.R. 11.1(E); 6th Dist.Loc.App.R.12. For the following reasons, we reverse and remand to the trial court for a proper computation of jail-time credit.
{¶ 3} Appellant, Richard C. Klorer, sets forth the following sole assignment of error:
"THE TRIAL COURT FAILED TO PROPERLY CALCULATE APPELLANT'S CREDIT FOR TIME SERVED, THEREBY RENDERING HIS SENTENCE CONTARY TO LAW."
{¶ 4} Klorer argues that he was previously confined on numerous occasions under this case. Specifically, he argues that the record supports a finding of 108 days confinement (using the formula in RC. 2949.08(D):
13 days, from September 10, 2020, to September 22, 2020;
4 days, from September 28, 2020, to October 2, 2020;
5 days, from November 6, 2020, to November 11, 2020;
61 days, from December 11, 2020, to February 8, 2021;
6 days, from June 24, 2021, to June 29, 2021;
10 days, from October 31, 2022, to November 9, 2022; and
9 days, from January 11, 2023, to January 19, 2023.
{¶ 5} Appellee concedes error "in large part" but argues that the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections has already credited appellant with the proper number of days of jail-time credit according to its website, which is not a part of the record of this appeal. Based upon information reported on this website, appellee concedes that the proper jail-time credit should reflect "99 days - not 61 days."
{¶ 6} Since appellee concedes error but relies on matters outside of the record of this appeal for its computation of jail-time credit, we remand this case to the trial court for a proper computation of jail-time credit, pursuant to R.C. 2949.08(D).
{¶ 7} On consideration whereof, the judgment of the Wood County Common Pleas Court is reversed and remanded for the limited purpose for a proper computation of jail-time credit, pursuant to R.C. 2949.08(D).
{¶ 8} Appellee is ordered to pay the costs of this appeal pursuant to App.R. 24.
Judgment reversed And remanded
A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to App.R. 27. See also 6th Dist.Loc.App.R. 4.
