RAMON RAMOS, APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2002-08-07
No. 3D02-937
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GERSTEN and SORONDO, JJ.
823 So. 2d 265 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2002) Caution
Cited by 4 cases


Opinion of the Court
SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

The defendant appeals from, and we reverse, the denial without evidentiary hearing of his application for Rule 3.800 relief which claimed that he had been improperly denied credit for time served prior to sentencing. The order below was based on the holding that the defendant must pursue administrative remedies in the Department of Corrections prior to seeking court relief. As the State agrees, however, this rule applies only to claims to time served after sentencing. See Garcia v. State, 736 So. 2d 1224 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999); Hidalgo v. State, 729 So. 2d 984 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). The cause is remanded for an appropriate hearing on the appellant’s motion at which he may prevail if “the court records demonstrate on their face an entitlement to relief.” State v. Mancino, 714 So. 2d 429, 433 (Fla.1998); Thurman v. State, 811 So. 2d 872 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002); Garcia, 736 So. 2d at 1224.

Reversed and remanded.

    …PER CURIAM. As in Ramos v. State, 823 So. 2d 265 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002), the trial court erroneously denied the appellant’s Rule 3.800 claim to credit for time served before sentencing on the ground that required administrative remedies had not been pursued. As the state again agrees, however, such ac…
