Michaud v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 25, 2015 · Silberman, Crenshaw, Black
159 So. 3d 232; 2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 2553; 2015 WL 774612 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Michaud v. State

Opinion

SILBERMAN, Judge.

David M. Michaud appeals the postcon-viction court’s order summarily dismissing his motion to vacate his sentence. He sought relief under Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.800 and 3.850, asserting that because he was a juvenile offender, his sentence of life without the possibility .of parole for burglary is invalid.

The postconviction court denied relief on multiple grounds but incorrectly recited that Michaud’s sentence was a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Although the sentencing documents attached to the postconviction court’s order impose a life sentence, they do not reflect that the sentence is without the possibility of parole. Further, the State acknowledges that Michaud is parole eligible. Because Michaud’s .motion is based on the faulty premise that he is not parole eligible, we affirm.

Affirmed.
