Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 12, 2009 · Wells, Shepherd, Cortinas
22 So. 3d 701; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 16826; 2009 WL 3763047 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Del Rio v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Cesar Del Rio, appeals a trial court order denying Ms motion for post-conviction relief. Del Rio argues his counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate the proper jail credit accumulated by him and, as a result, his sentence was longer than the statutorily permitted maximum. We treat the order on appeal as one taken from the denial of a motion to correct illegal sentence under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 3.800(a).

The State commendably concedes the possibility Del Rio’s total concurrent sentences for the third-degree felonies or aggravated stalking, § 784.048(3), Fla. Stat. (2004), and threatening a public servant, § 838.021(3)(b), Fla. Stat. (2004), exceed the statutory maximum.

We reverse and remand to the trial court for further proceedings. Upon remand, the trial court should consider the accurate calculation of the number of days Del Rio has served to determine whether the sentence, in fact, exceeds the five-year statutory maximum.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
