Grace v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 17, 1995 · Altenbernd, Campbell, Ryder
662 So. 2d 1347; 1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 12110; 1995 WL 681278 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Grace v. State

Opinion of the Court

RYDER, Acting Chief Judge.

Timothy Grace challenges the trial court’s failure to award him credit for three and one-half years’ imprisonment previously served on one count against a sentence later imposed for violation of probation on a second count. Although the trial judge stated that he was to receive credit for the time previously served, the sentencing documents failed to award him the credit. The state concedes error and agrees that the case should be remanded to correct the sentencing documents to reflect the credit for time previously served.

“If a trial court imposes a term of probation on one offense consecutive to a sentence of incarceration on another offense, credit for time served on the first offense must be awarded on the sentence imposed after revocation on the second offense.” Tripp v. State, 622 So.2d 941, 942 (Fla. 1993).

Reversed and remanded for resentencing.

CAMPBELL and ALTENBERND, JJ., concur.
