Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 22, 2008 · Ramirez, Rothenberg, Schwartz

Clavijo v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

On September 18, 2007, in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, Roberto Clavijo filed a pro se “Motion for Jail Credit,” which was, in essence, a motion for credit for time served. The record indicates that on October 12, 2007, the Miami-Dade circuit court judge assigned to the case, for reasons unknown, treated Clavijo’s motion as a motion for gain time and transferred the case to the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida. The circuit court judge entered a second order on January 30, 2008, again transferring the action to the Second Judicial Circuit.

Clavijo now appeals the January 30, 2008, order transferring his case. We reverse and remand to the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, with instructions for the court to treat Clavijo’s September 18, 2007 motion as a motion for credit for time served.

*575Reversed and remanded with instructions.
