JAMES YARBROUGH, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 2006-04-13
No. 1D05-5206
WOLF, WEBSTER and BROWNING, JJ., Concur.
926 So. 2d 448 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2006) Caution
Cited by 17 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant challenges the summary denial of his motion seeking prison credit filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. The appellant seeks two years of prison credit for the initial time served on the incarcerative portion of a split sentence.

A defendant is entitled to credit for time he has already served on the incarcerative portion of a split sentence. Pierson v. State, 801 So. 2d 1055 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001); See Corpus v. State, 744 So. 2d 594 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999) (noting that a defendant is entitled to prison credit for time already served in prison on the charges). The trial court failed to attach any documents, such as the written judgment and sentence, that conclusively establish that the appellant received two years of prison credit towards the sentences imposed in case numbers 90-3531, 90^4924, and 90-5261 for time previously served on those cases, or that the appellant is not entitled to such credit. Thus, we reverse the denial of the appellant’s motion and remand for the trial court to grant relief or attach documents refuting the appellant’s allegations. See Pierson.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

    …ent System. The early retirement penalty was a critical consideration in the supreme court’s decision in Boyett, and its absence in the present case would make the Boyett approach inequitable here. In accordance with our decision in Pullo v. Pullo, 926 So. 2d 448 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006), we reject the appellant’s challenge to the trial court’s determination that the appellee will be entitled to an equitable share in any DROP proceeds, with the appellee’s share including interest accumulations and cost of living…
