1Opinion of the Court

W. SHARP, Judge.

Chambers appeals from the summary denial of his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). He alleges that he pled guilty to one count of second degree murder in Case No. 94-11724, pursuant to a plea bargain guaranteeing him a 12 year sentence, to run concurrently with another sentence in Case No. 93-3848. Not until he arrived in prison did he learn he received a 14 year sentence, and the written judgment does not state that the sentence runs concurrent with the sentence he received in Case No. 93-3848.
