Rowell v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 10, 2015 · Palmer, Sawaya, Wallis
160 So. 3d 950; 2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 5194; 2015 WL 1609926 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Rowell v. State

Opinion of the Court

WALLIS, J.

Appellant appeals the trial court’s summary denial of his Rule 3.800(a) Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence. The sole issue is whether the trial judge, after finding that Appellant violated his probation, erred by subsequently revoking Appellant’s Youthful Offender status. We find that Rule 3.800(a) is the proper avenue for Appellant to pursue review of the revocation. Blacker v. State, 49 So.3d 785 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010). We note that the order on appeal is silent as to the issue of the revocation of the Youthful Offender designation. We remand for the trial court to address this specific claim.

REVERSED and REMANDED with INSTRUCTIONS.

SAWAYA and PALMER, JJ., concur.
