NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DETERMINED IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT JESSICA D. STEPONIK, DOC #T23530, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 2D13-3789 Opinion filed October 22, 2014. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Denise A. Pomponio, Judge. Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Timothy J. Ferreri, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Donna S. Koch, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Jessica D. Steponik appeals the order revoking her probation. We affirm the revocation and her amended sentence in all respects. We write only to note that the trial court entered the amended sentence prior to the trial court clerk's issuance of the commitment package for the Department of Corrections, but the commitment package that is contained in our appellate record does not include the amended sentencing document. The amended sentence substantially increased Ms. Steponik's credit for time served. The sentencing document contained in the commitment package in our record was signed on July 23, 2013, and it reflected an award of 230 days of credit for time Ms. Steponik was incarcerated before imposition of the sentence. The amended sentence was signed on July 25, 2013, and it reflected an award of 319 days of credit for time incarcerated before imposition of the sentence. Thus, the Department should calculate Ms. Steponik's release date based on the amended sentence if it has not already done so. Affirmed. ALTENBERND, CASANUEVA, and BLACK, JJ., Concur. -2-
