Synopsis

The court affirmed the trial court's revocation of probation in one case and held that placing probation in abeyance during incarceration in another case does not improperly extend the probationary term because probation is automatically tolled during incarceration.


Holding

When a defendant serving probation in one case is incarcerated in a separate case, the probationary sentence is automatically tolled, and declaring probation to be held in abeyance does not extend the probationary term.

Opinion of the Court
SILBERMAN, Chief Judge.

SILBERMAN, Chief Judge.

Corey Shane Bowman seeks review of the trial court’s order revoking his probation in case no. 07-3234 and ordering his probationary term in case no. 09-4489 to be held in abeyance pending the completion of his prison term in case no. 07-3234. Among other things, Bowman argues that the trial court improperly extended his probation in case no. 09-4489. We affirm the court’s finding that Bowman willfully and substantially violated his probation in case no. 07-3234 without further comment. We note that the court did not extend the term of Bowman’s probation in case no. 09-4489 by declaring that Bowman’s probation in that case would be held in abey-*535anee while he served his incarcerative term in case no. 07-8234. When a defendant who is serving probation in one case is incarcerated in a separate case, his probationary sentence is automatically “tolled.” Badger v. State, 23 So.3d 813, 816-17 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009); Jones v. State, 964 So.2d 167, 171 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007); Williams v. State, 773 So.2d 660, 660 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000); State v. Savage, 589 So.2d 1016, 1018 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991). Thus, the trial court was simply explaining the legal effect of its incarcerative sentence in case no. 07-3234 on the probationary sentence in case no. 09-4489.

Affirmed.
