ROCHESTER v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Denis ROCHESTER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D18-4259

Decided: July 29, 2019

Denis Rochester, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Sharon S. Traxler, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Denis Rochester appeals from an order denying a motion seeking additional jail credit brought under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801. As to Rochester's claim that he is owed one additional day of credit for his incarceration in March 2013, the record shows this claim has merit. Rochester is entitled to credit for the time spent incarcerated from March 1, 2013, through March 4, 2013, a total of four days. We therefore reverse and remand to permit the trial court to correct his credit accordingly. As to Rochester's remaining claim concerning credit for the dates in 2015, we affirm.

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part, and Remanded.

Per Curiam.

Ray, C.J., and Bilbrey and Jay, JJ., concur.
