STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2008-12-10
No. 4D08-3541
GROSS, C.J., MAY and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The defendant appeals from the summary denial of his rule 3.800(a) motion, through which he presented a challenge to his sentencing scoresheet. We affirm the trial court’s denial without prejudice to Watt’s right to seek relief in a sworn motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. See Brooks v. State, 969 So. 2d 238 (Fla.2007); State v. Anderson, 905 So. 2d 111, 112 (Fla.2005).

GROSS, C.J., MAY and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.

State, 995 So. 2d 1172, 1173-74 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) (citations omitted). In this case, the court’s conclusion is supported by the record.

    …sentence, a criminal defendant is “entitled to credit for all time served in Florida jails before sentencing,” but such credit “may be waived” if the defendant’s waiver is “specific, voluntary and clear from the face of the record.” White v. State, 995 So. 2d 1172, 1173 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008). We believe appellant’s signature on the written plea agreement evinces a specific and voluntary waiver of the one-year credit for time served, and the trial judge was correct to deny appellant’s motion to correct. We find…
