Docket No. 3D07-1228.

McCloud v. State

Lorenzo McCLOUD, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2007-07-18

Relies on 729 So. 2d 984 - Hidalgo v. State · Smith v. State

Decided 2007-07-18

¶1Lorenzo McCloud, in proper person.

¶2Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Heidi Milan Caballero, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

¶3Before FLETCHER, WELLS and SUAREZ, JJ.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5Lorenzo McCloud seeks immediate release from incarceration via an emergency petition for writ of habeas corpus. We deny the petition, as it appears from the record that on March 21, 2006, the defendant pled guilty in all cases and accepted sentences of three years concurrent but not coterminous with the Broward County cases, with credit for time served. McCloud is not entitled to immediate release from custody in the Miami-Dade County cases, as the Miami-Dade cases were to run concurrent, but not coterminous, with the Broward County cases. The record shows that McCloud has not served the entirety of his three-year sentences, which began in March 2006. We make no statement as to the status of McCloud's Broward County sentences.

¶6McCloud must pursue his gain-time issues with the Department of Corrections. See Hidalgo v. State,729 So.2d 984 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999)(to contest award or loss of gain time inmate must first exhaust administrative remedies through the Department of Corrections and if necessary seek a writ of mandamus against DOC in the circuit court); Smith v. State,902 So.2d 351 (Fla. *349 5th DCA 2005)("The calculation of gain time is a function of the Department of Corrections, through which relief must first be pursued administratively.").

¶7Petition for habeas corpus denied.
