Roche v. State

Roche v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 1, 1996 · Goshorn, Peterson, Sharp
681 So. 2d 1210; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 11413; 1996 WL 631565 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Roche v. State

Opinion of the Court

W. SHARP, Judge.

Roche appeals the summary denial of his Rule 3.800(a) motion. We affirm.

Roche claims his scoresheet was improperly calculated and that scoring of two convictions violated his double jeopardy rights. These are not viable claims sufficient to establish an “illegal sentence” pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). These kinds of claims cannot be determined from the face of the record because they will require an evidentiary hearing to resolve, the issues raised. Thus, the trial court properly denied the rule 3.800(a) motion in this case. See Davis v. State, 661 So.2d 1193 (Fla. 1995); State v. Callaway, 658 So.2d 983 (Fla. 1995); Raley v. State, 675 So.2d 170 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996), appeal dismissed, 678 So.2d 1287 (Fla. 1996).

AFFIRMED.

PETERSON, C.J., and GOSHORN, J., concur.
