Knight v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 17, 1984 · Baskin, Genson, Hendry, Jor
443 So. 2d 503; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 11403 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Knight v. State

Opinion of the Court

BASKIN, Judge.

While it appears to the court that defendant Knight is entitled to receive credit for time served in Case No. 78-1277, habeas corpus is not the correct procedural route for obtaining relief. We therefore deny the petition and, pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(b), (c), transfer the cause to the trial court for correction of sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.

Petition denied.
