Scarborough v. State

Scarborough v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 8, 1998 · Cope, Green, Schwartz
708 So. 2d 701; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 5245; 1998 WL 227652 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Scarborough v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

As in White v. State, 656 So.2d 255, 256 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995), “we reverse the denial of the [defendant’s 3.800-3.850] motion and remand the case ... to allow the trial court to determine whether, as part of a negotiated plea, the appellant specifically waived the right to receive credit for time served.” See generally Vanderblomen v. State, 709 So.2d *702144 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). Because, if his position is correct, Scarborough may be entitled to immediate release — and, in any case, may be entitled to withdraw his plea — we direct that the matter be heard expeditiously below and dispense with rehearing here.
