Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm without prejudice appellant's claim to credit for time served before violation of probation. Moreland v. State, 700 So.2d 800 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). As outlined in Moreland, appellant's remedy is to request the credit from the Department of Corrections. After exhausting his administrative remedy, appellant may file a petition for writ of mandamus against the DOC in the circuit court.
