JEFFREY TRAPKIN, A/K/A MICHAEL COLLINS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2003-10-29
No. 4D03-2562
WARNER, STEVENSON and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
857 So. 2d 989 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2003) Positive Treatment
Cited by 6 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the trial court’s denial of his Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) motion for jail credit. This is appellant’s renewed motion which followed this court’s affirmance without prejudice. See Trapkin v. State, 830 So. 2d 172 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002).

We find appellant’s renewed motion to be legally sufficient, and reverse and remand to the trial court for a determination on the merits. If the record conclusively refutes the claim, then the trial court should attach those portions of the record supporting denial. See Collins v. State, 805 So. 2d 73, 74 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). If the record available to the trial court, which includes the jail records referenced, establishes that appellant is entitled to the credit he requests, the court shall award him the jail credit. See Phillips v. State, 839 So. 2d 893, 894 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003).

WARNER, STEVENSON and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.

    …cial Administration 2.160(e), (2005),2 provides that “[a] motion to disqualify shall be filed within a reasonable time not to exceed 10 days after discovery of the facts constituting the grounds for the motion....” In Thomas v. Chase Manhattan Bank, 857 So. 2d 989 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003), we held that merely serving a motion to recuse within ten days of discovery of facts justifying the motion does not comply with the requirement of filing the motion. We therefore denied a petition for writ of prohibition where t…
