Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Samuel M. Pullins, appeals the denial of his rule 3.800(a) motion. He claims that his consecutive habitual offender sentence is illegal under Hale v. State, 630 So. 2d 521 (Fla.1993). This Court has held that Hale claims are cognizable in 3.800(a) motions if the claim can be established on the face of the record. See Valdes v. State, 765 So. 2d 774 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000). As Appellant has failed to point to any part of the record which establishes that the crimes were committed in a single episode, we affirm the trial court’s denial of relief. See Baker v. State, 714 So. 2d 1167 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998).

ERVIN, BOOTH and ALLEN, JJ., concur.

First, the trial court found that Elliott’s motion failed to point to any record facts showing that both charges were committed in a single criminal episode, citing Pullins tí. State, 777 So. 2d 451 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001). Notwithstanding this pleading failure, the trial court proceeded to address the merits of his motion. • The trial court concluded Hale did not apply because even though it found Elliott met the criteria for being sentenced as a…
