Kuntz, J.
In March 2016, the State filed an affidavit of violation of probation in two underlying cases. The term of probation that was purportedly violated began on June 3, 2015, and expired on June 3, 2016. The State alleged technical violations of probation including: 1) failing to pay costs of supervision; 2) failing to pay court costs; and 3) failing to successfully complete or remain in drug/alcohol treatment until the provider determined that treatment was no longer necessary.
On November 18, 2016, the Broward Sheriffs Office took the Defendant into custody on these violations during a traffic stop. This, of course, was after the expiration of the probationary period.
In Mobley v. State , 197 So.3d 572, 574 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016), we held that an affidavit of violation of probation alleging only technical violations of probation does not toll the probationary period. Thus, in this case, the circuit court was without jurisdiction to revoke the Defendants probation and sentence him based on his alleged technical violations of probation. The State concedes that Mobley controls the disposition of this appeal and also concedes that no exception to Mobley applies in this case.
We vacate the courts revocation of the Defendants probation and imposition of sentences in both cases. On remand, the court shall dismiss the violation of probation charges against the Defendant. Further, the circuit court shall hold a hearing, if necessary, and issue an order on the Defendants request to be released from custody before 5:00 P.M. on Monday, August 20, 2018. This opinion is effective immediately, and the Clerk of Court is directed to issue our mandate simultaneously with the issuance of this opinion.
Forst and Klingensmith, JJ., concur.
The State conceded this issue in a post-conviction filing in the circuit court on February 7, 2018. The State filed its concession of error in this Court on August 13, 2018.
