Carla D. MARTIN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 87-519.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Dec. 3, 1987.
On Motion for Rehearing En Banc June 2, 1988.

Opinion:
COWART, Judge.
By motion, the appellant claimed before the trial court that while she was given proper credit for time served as to one of her convictions, such credit should have been applied equally as to each of her concurrent sentences. See § 921.161(1), Fla.Stat.; Daniels v. State, 491 So.2d 543 (Fla.1986); Williams v. State, 507 So.2d 745 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987); Thomas v. State, 503 So.2d 450 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987); West v. State, 497 So.2d 1347 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986). The trial court summarily denied relief to the appellant without an evidentiary hearing.
The determination of the proper amount of credit for time served pursuant to section 921.161(1), as explained in Meintzer v. State, 399 So.2d 133 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981), is a question of fact and normally can only be determined after an evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the trial court to either (1) enter another order which shows by attached portions of the court files and record that appellant received proper credit for all time served before sentencing and is entitled to no relief or (2) conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine the questions of fact necessary to determine the jail time credit to which appellant is entitled under the statute. See Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.850.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
DAUKSCH and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
