Opinion
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
DAVID C. GATLIN,
Appellant,
v. Case No. 5D21-2912 LT Case No. 2018-CF-000878-A-M
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee. ________________________________/
Opinion filed July 1, 2022
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Putnam County, Howard O. McGillin, Jr., Judge.
David C. Gatlin, Blountstown, pro se.
No Appearance for Appellee.
WOZNIAK, J.
David C. Gatlin appeals the partial summary denial of his Florida Rule
of Criminal Procedure 3.801(a) motion to correct jail credit. When his
probation was revoked, Gatlin was given 69 days of jail credit towards his
sentence. He filed a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801 motion to correct that jail credit, arguing that he was entitled to an additional 224 days’
credit, for a total of 293 days of jail credit. The trial court granted his motion
in part, crediting Gatlin’s sentence with a total of 224 days of jail credit, which
was 69 days short of the 293 days Gatlin claimed.
Because the records attached to the trial court’s order do not
conclusively refute Gatlin’s claim for credit, we remand with directions to the
trial court to attach portions of the record to its order conclusively showing
Gatlin is not entitled to the relief he requested, conduct an evidentiary
hearing, or, if it concludes the motion is facially insufficient, strike the motion
as facially insufficient and give Gatlin an opportunity to file an amended
motion that contains the allegations required by rule. See Holley v. State,
182 So. 3d 672, 673 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015) (citing Romine v. State, 151 So. 3d
553, 553 (Fla. 5th DCA 2014)); Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.801(e); Fla. R. Crim. P.
3.850(f). In all other respects, we affirm.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED with directions.
LAMBERT, C.J. and COHEN, JJ., concur.
