Head Matter:
Stanford KNIGHT, a/k/a Mark Eugene Knight, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.
No. 83-2589.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Jan. 17, 1984.
Stanford Knight, in pro. per.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Diane Leeds, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent.
Before HENDRY, BASKIN and JOR-GENSON, JJ.

Opinion:
BASKIN, Judge.
While it appears to the court that defendant Knight is entitled to receive credit for time served in Case No. 78-1277, habeas corpus is not the correct procedural route for obtaining relief. We therefore deny the petition and, pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(b), (c), transfer the cause to the trial court for correction of sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.
Petition denied.
