Ronnie DEVANE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Appellant filed a motion for correction of jail credit pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801. In that motion, he claimed that he was entitled to an additional credit of 194 days in jail. The trial court granted the motion in part, concluding that based on its review of the court records, Appellant was only entitled to twelve additional days of jail credit. Thus the trial court denied the remainder of the requested jail credit. However, the trial court did not attach relevant portions of the record to the order under review. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(f)(5) (“If the denial is based on the records in the case, a copy of that portion of the files and records that conclusively shows that the defendant is entitled to no relief shall be attached to the final order.”).1 Accordingly, we reverse the order under review and remand this case to the trial court for it to grant the relief requested, conduct an evidentiary hearing, or attach the appropriate records to the order.
REVERSED and REMANDED with instructions.
