Head Matter:
Donald Craig GORE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 1D12-2828.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Sept. 2, 2014.
Appellant Donald Craig Gore, pro se.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Anne C. Conley, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee. Barbara Debelius, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal of a final order in Circuit Court Case No. 2012-178-CA denying Appellant's petition to invoke all writs jurisdiction, which the trial court treated as a petition for writ of habeas corpus and denied. The petition alleged Appellant's entitlement to immediate re lease from prison. The trial court issued its ruling without affording Appellee an opportunity to show cause concerning the Florida Department of Corrections' ("Department") application of Appellant's credits. On the Department's proper concession of error, we reverse the order and remand with instructions that the trial court issue an order for the Department to show cause regarding (1) whether Appellant has been properly awarded all jail, prison, and gain-time credits that are due under the law and as set forth in Gisi v. State, 4 So.3d 613 (Fla.2009), and Rabe-deau v. State, 2 So.3d 191 (Fla.2009), and (2) whether such an award would affect Appellant's consecutive 21-year sentence. To ensure consistent rulings on substantially similar issues, we direct the trial court to consolidate this case and Circuit Court Case No. 2011-41-CA (appealed as # 1D12-907) for further proceedings.
REVERSED and REMANDED with instructions.
ROBERTS, RAY, and SWANSON, JJ" concur.
