DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT JOHN L. SMITH, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. No. 4D15-3413 [March 30, 2016] Appeal of order denying rule 3.800 motion from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Samantha Schosberg Feuer, Judge; L.T. Case No. 502002CF007381A. John L. Smith, Okeechobee, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Georgina Jiminez-Orosa, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee. CONFESSION OF ERROR PER CURIAM. We reverse the order denying appellant’s postconviction motion seeking additional jail credit. As the State concedes in response to this Court’s order to show cause, the motion was filed on November 19, 2013, which was within the one-year grace period provided for in Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801(b). The grace period did not close until July 1, 2014. The trial court erred in denying the motion as untimely under rule 3.801. This matter is remanded for further proceedings. Reversed and Remanded. CIKLIN, C.J., STEVENSON and TAYLOR, JJ., concur. * * * Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
