Head Matter:
Martice D. SPEARS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 2D05-4090.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Feb. 10, 2006.

Opinion:
LaROSE, Judge.
Martice D. Spears challenges the post-conviction court's denial of his motion' to clarify sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Without attaching any portions of the record to refute Mr. Spears' claim, the post-conviction court denied the motion, concluding that Mr. Spears is entitled only to credit against each sentence for the time spent in jail for the charge that resulted in that sentence. See James v. State, 721 So.2d 1265 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998).
The burden is on the postconviction court to attach portions of the record refuting the rule 3.800(a) claim. Felder v. State, 828 So.2d 409 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002). Accordingly, we reverse the order and remand for furthei proceedings. If the post-conviction court again denies Mr. Spears' motion, it shall attach those portions of the record that conclusively refute the claim.
Reversed and remanded.
