MARCUS TARRAND, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 2002-02-08
No. 5D01-3744
GRIFFIN and PLEUS, JJ., concur.
809 So. 2d 66 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2002) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases


Opinion of the Court
SHARP, W., J.,

Tarrand appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), for jail time credit. He alleges the trial court properly awarded him 129 days of jail time credit, but that the Department of Corrections is only crediting him with 43 days. We affirm.

As the trial court properly noted, Tar-rand has not availed himself of the administrative inmate grievance procedure established by the Department of Corrections. Only after he has exhausted his administrative remedy can he seek a remedy in the circuit court and, in that event, by filing petition for mandamus. See Williams v. State, 673 So. 2d 873 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996); Under the circumstances, our affirmance is without prejudice to seek an administrative remedy.

AFFIRMED.

GRIFFIN and PLEUS, JJ., concur.
