Williams v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 30, 1992 · Campbell, Hall, Threadgill
611 So. 2d 89; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 13052; 1992 WL 386394 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Robert Williams appeals the summary denial of his motion for jail time credit. In his motion, Williams alleged that although he was incarcerated prior to sentencing, he did not receive full jail time credit. The trial judge denied the motion without attaching to his order any portion of the files or records to refute appellant’s allegations.

Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion and remand the case. On remand, unless the files and records of the case conclusively show that the appellant is entitled to no relief, the court shall order the state attorney to file an answer within a time certain. After receipt of the answer, the court shall determine whether an evidentiary hearing is required. If the court should again deny appellant’s motion, he has thirty days in which to appeal.

Reversed and remanded.

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and HALL and THREADGILL, JJ., concur.
