Opinion

No. 4D07-4965.

February 13, 2008.

Appeal of order denying rule 3.800(a) motion from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Paul L. Backman, Judge; L.T. Case No. 05-13848 CF10A.

David Ward, Moore Haven, pro se.

No appearance required for appellee.


We affirm the summary denial of appellant's rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence, which challenged the Department of Correction's application of his court-ordered jail time credit, without prejudice to his seeking extraordinary relief from the Leon County circuit court after he has exhausted his administrative remedies with the department. See Grace v. State, 920 So.2d 719 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006). See also Bush v. State, 945 So.2d 1207, 1213-14 (Fla. 2006) (holding the department is entitled to litigate in the circuit court in Leon County, where its central office is located).

TAYLOR, HAZOURI and MAY, JJ., concur.
