Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida, July Term, A.D. 2012 Opinion filed October 17, 2012. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D12-2342 Lower Tribunal Nos. 12-2633, 10-18042 ________________ Norry Pearce, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Dennis J. Murphy, Judge. Norry Pearce, in proper person. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for appellee. Before, WELLS, C.J., and SHEPHERD and SALTER, JJ. WELLS, Chief Judge. Norry Pearce appeals an order denying his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) motion seeking additional credit for jail time served. We reverse. In denying the postconviction motion, the court below found that Pearce had properly received 505 days of jail credit in lower case number F10-18042 and 111 days of jail credit in lower case number F12-2633. However, the court failed to attach any portion of the record to the order on review to support its findings. See Cheatum v. State, 992 So. 2d 877, 877-78 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008) (reversing denial of facially sufficient motion seeking additional jail credit where the single attachment to the trial court s denial order does not conclusively refute Cheatum s claim ); Street v. State, 693 So. 2d 695, 696 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997) (reversing denial of facially sufficient motion seeking additional jail credit [b]ecause there are no attachments to the order to justify denial ). Accordingly, we remand with instructions that the court attach copies of those portions of the record that support its denial. Reversed and remanded for further proceedings. 2
