PER CURIAM.
Clarence Wayne Springer (Springer) appeals the trial court’s summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Of the several issues raised on appeal, only one has merit.
Specifically, Springer is entitled to credit for the fifteen years he served in the 1988 cases against the multiple concurrent five-year sentences he received for violating probation in the 1986-87 cases and for violating probation in the 1988 cases.1 Cook v. State, 645 So. 2d 486 (Fla.1994); Tripp v. State, 622 So. 2d 941 (Fla.1993); Bailey v. State, 634 So. 2d 171 (Fla. 1st DCA), review dismissed, 637 So. 2d 233 (Fla.1994). As application of this credit will nullify the sentences imposed for violating probation in those two sets of cases, we hereby VACATE the sentences imposed for violating probation.
We AFFIRM Springer’s sentence in all other respects.
WOLF, LAWRENCE and BENTON, JJ., concur. . All these offenses were committed before October 1, 1989, the effective date of chapter 89-531, Laws of Florida, so that "credit for time served” required the inclusion of prison or jail time actually served, as well as gain time granted under section 944.275, Florida Statutes (1987). Bailey v. State, 634 So. 2d 171, 172 n. 2 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994).

Lissette C. Schwieterman v. Schwieterman, 114 So. 3d 984 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012)…abused its discretion. Her findings seem to discount former wife’s testimony and concerns and the credibility of witnesses is uniquely a function of the trial court, which is in the best position to evaluate witnesses. See, e.g., Maliski v. Maliski, 664 So. 2d 341, 343 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995). Therefore, we affirm as to the time-sharing plan adopted by the trial court. Former wife further argues that the trial court erred by including certain miscellaneous provisions in the parenting plan attached to the judgmen…

Jaynee Adinolfe v. Adinolfe, 718 So. 2d 369 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998)…t a worker’s compensation claim award placed her in a better financial position than the husband. Credibility apparently played a major role, and “[t]he credibility of the witnesses is within the trial court’s exclusive purview.” Maliski v. Maliski, 664 So. 2d 341, 343 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995). The trial court also distributed the marital assets and the marital debt decidedly in the wife’s favor despite the worker’s compensation award and the husband’s inability to pay alimony. Accordingly, we affirm the trial c…
