Craig v. State

6 So. 3d 96, 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 2481, 34 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. D 648
District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided March 25, 2009·No. 3D07-2874·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Ronald Lee Craig (“Craig”) appeals an order denying his motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) requesting credit for additional jail time served. Because Craig’s motion requests credit for jail time served after sentencing, we affirm the order without prejudice for the defendant to pursue administrative remedies with the Department of Corrections. See Hidalgo v. State, 729 So.2d 984 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) (when seeking credit for time served after sentencing the defendant must exhaust administrative remedies with the Department of Corrections before requesting judicial relief). After exhausting such remedies, Craig may file a petition for writ of mandamus against the Department.

Affirmed.
