ANTONIO JACKSON, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2007-12-31
No. 4D07-4473
GUNTHER, WARNER and MAY, JJ., concur.
971 So. 2d 208 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2007) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant here sought redress through a motion'pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. The motion requested a correction of jail time credit and gain time for a period spent in Bro-ward County Jail awaiting a hearing on a separate, pending motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 for post-conviction relief.

A motion to correct an illegal sentence is not the proper vehicle through which to challenge denial of credit for time served after sentencing. Moreland v. State, 700 So. 2d 800 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). Rather the Appellant must seek administrative remedies with the Department of Corrections to receive requested credit. Id. at 801. After exhausting such remedies, the Appellant may file a petition for writ of mandamus against the Department. Id. Therefore, we affirm without prejudice the denial of the requested credit for time served and gain time spent in Broward County Jail after sentencing.

GUNTHER, WARNER and MAY, JJ., concur.
