Opinion

Oscar R. Evans challenges an order denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence. Specifically, Mr. Evans seeks credit in the underlying sentence for 1,116 days of time served. However, the record reflects that the trial court clearly explained, and Mr. Evans acknowledged, that he would receive the credit for time served in a separate probation violation case, and not the instant case. Since Mr. Evans was properly credited for time served in this case, the trial court properly denied Mr. Evans motion. Martinez v. State, 211 So. 3d 989, 991 (Fla. 2017) (explaining that sentencing errors that can be corrected under rule 3.800(a) must be apparent from face of original record).

Affirmed.
