DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
                             FOURTH DISTRICT

                           CEYRON PASCOE,
                              Appellant,

                                    v.

                          STATE OF FLORIDA,
                               Appellee.

                             No. 4D17-0010

                             [August 2, 2017]

   Appeal of order denying rule 3.801 motion from the Circuit Court for
the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Edward H. Merrigan
Jr., Judge; L.T. Case No. 15-8597CF10A.

   Ceyron Pascoe, Jasper, pro se.

  Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kimberly T.
Acuña, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

   Appellant challenges the denial of his postconviction motion for
additional jail credit brought pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.801. We reverse and remand.

   Appellant seeks additional jail credit in accordance with a plea
agreement. The State represents that the sentencing court awarded
appellant the credit he seeks consistent with his plea; therefore, he must
seek relief through the Department of Corrections. Cooper v. State, 186
So. 3d 1115 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016). The trial court summarily denied the
legally sufficient motion without explaining or attaching record documents
to refute the claim of entitlement to credit. Shea v. State, 97 So. 3d 861,
862 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) (recognizing that this practice is improper).

   While the State furnishes the sentencing documents to this Court, it is
not permitted to supplement the record on appeal. Vega v. State, 110 So.
3d 965 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013); Runge v. State, 24 So. 3d 768, 769 (Fla. 4th
DCA 2009). Consequently, we reverse and remand. Should the trial court
summarily deny this claim again, it must attach record documents
conclusively demonstrating that appellant received all of the jail credit
such that his proper remedy is with the Department. Cooper, 186 So. 3d
at 1115.

   Reversed and remanded.
