NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DETERMINED IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT MARK ALAN LaFABRE, ) ) Appellant, ) ) v. ) ) STATE OF FLORIDA, ) ) Appellee. ) ___________________________________) Case No. 2D15-4368 Opinion filed July 8, 2016. Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Polk County; John K. Stargel, Judge. PER CURIAM. Mark Alan LaFabre appeals the order denying his motion for jail credit filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801. We reverse. In his motion, LaFabre set forth the dates he alleged he spent in jail prior to sentencing upon revocation of his probation. He argued that he was entitled to 522 days of credit rather than the 428 days the trial court awarded him, a deficit of 94 days. In the course of his argument, LaFabre made a confusing allegation that the trial court failed to award him 120 days of credit for the last period of time he spent in jail before sentencing—July 22, 2013, to November 18, 2013—but he also alleged that he was awarded 120 days' credit for this time period. As a result, the postconviction court found that LaFabre was awarded the appropriate amount of jail credit for this time period. However, the court did not address LaFabre's allegation that he was entitled to an additional 94 days of credit. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the court to reconsider LaFabre's motion. Reversed and remanded. SILBERMAN, MORRIS, and LUCAS, JJ., Concur. -2-
