Head Matter:
Craig HESTER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 97-04426.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
March 10, 1999.
Rehearing Denied April 13, 1999.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Allyn Giambalvo, Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Dale E. Tarpley, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Opinion:
BLUE, Judge.
Craig Hester appeals the trial court's denial of credit for time at liberty following his premature release. Because Hester's premature release cannot be attributed to "fault" on Hester's part, we reverse. See Carson v. State, 489 So.2d 1236 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986).
Reversed and remanded.
PATTERSON, A.C.J., and WHATLEY, J., Concur.
