Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The only point on appeal which merits consideration is appellant’s contention that he should have been given credit for the time he spent in jail prior to his resentencing pursuant to Fla.Stat. § 921.161 (1973). While it is difficult to see how this would be of any benefit to a person receiving a life sentence, on the off chance that jail time credit might have some effect on his right to parole, the case is remanded with directions to modify the sentence to give appellant the appropriate credit. The presence of the appellant will not be required for this purpose. Simari v. State, Fla.App. 1st, 1975, 309 So. 2d 183. In all other respects, the judgment and sentence are
Affirmed.

Jewell v. State, 345 So. 2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977)…red. We find no error. [*1104] By his second point, appellant contends that the trial court erred in not crediting county jail time prior to sentencing on the last sentence which he received. Such credit should have been given. See Coleman v. State, 326 So. 2d 217 (Fla. 2 DCA 1976). The judgment is affirmed, but the cause is remanded to the trial court to give appellant credit on his sentence for the aforesaid county jail time. Such may be done by order without returning appellant to the court. RAWLS, Acting…
