IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED JOSE M. VEGA, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D17-3493 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed April 6, 2018 3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Osceola County, Elaine A. Barbour, Judge. Jose M. Vega, Bristol, pro se. No Appearance for Appellee. PER CURIAM. The appellant, Jose M. Vega, appeals the trial court’s summary denial of the motion he filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. In the motion, Vega alleged that he entered into a plea agreement that provided that he would admit his violation of probation and serve an additional eighteen months in prison. Vega had previously served a sentence of ten years in prison on the substantive charges. The trial court, in accordance with the plea agreement, sentenced him to eleven years and 283 days in prison, with credit for 103 days served in the county jail and the ten years he had previously served in the Department of Corrections. After he was sentenced, the Department of Corrections calculated the gain time Vega was entitled to from his previous term of incarceration. Pursuant to that calculation, Vega would be required to serve in excess of the eighteen months in prison provided for in his plea agreement. Accordingly, we reverse the order denying Vega’s motion and remand this case to the trial court to either resentence Vega in accordance with the plea agreement or to allow him to withdraw his plea.
