                                 FOURTH DISTRICT

                              ANTHONY HOSKINS,
                                  Appellant,

                                         v.

                              STATE OF FLORIDA,
                                   Appellee.

                                  No. 4D18-2413

                              [December 19, 2018]

   Appeal of order denying rule 3.801 motion from the Circuit Court for
the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Barbara Anne
McCarthy, Judge; L.T. Case Nos. 14-5075CF10A and 14-14619CF10A.

    Anthony Hoskins, Bonifay, pro se.

   Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Alexandra A.
Folley, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

    After a fifth violation of probation, Appellant Anthony Hoskins was
sentenced to 30 months in prison with 52 days of jail credit. Hoskins filed
a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801 motion seeking additional jail
credit for time spent in jail following previous violations of probation. 1 The
trial court summarily denied the 3.801 motion. Its order failed to attach
any documents refuting Hoskins’ claim. As the State concedes on appeal,
this was reversible error, requiring remand.

   “Pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801(e), which
incorporates Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure rule 3.850(f), the circuit
court was required to attach records which conclusively refuted the
defendant’s motion seeking additional jail credit.” Williams v. State, 141
So. 3d 686, 687 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014); Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(f)(5) (“If the
denial is based on the records in the case, a copy of that portion of the files
and records that conclusively shows that the defendant is entitled to no

1 Hoskins’ motion claims that he had previously been in jail multiple times for
violations of probation, but had only been awarded jail credit for the last jail stay.
relief shall be attached to the final order.”).

   As noted above, the State concedes that the trial court’s order does not
comply with the Rule. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for an
evidentiary hearing or for the attachment of records conclusively refuting
Hoskins’ claim for additional jail credit.

   Reversed and remanded.

GERBER, C.J., FORST and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.
