Legal Opinion

Rivera v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided August 4, 2004No. 3D04-1330Published

1Per curiam

Because appellant’s time spent at a residential drug treatment program is not equivalent to incarceration, the trial court properly denied his motion for additional credit for time served. See Pennington v. State, 398 So.2d 815 (Fla.1981). See also Toney v. State, 817 So.2d 924 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002); Taylor v. State, 726 So.2d 348 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) Self v. State, 504 So.2d 810 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987).

Affirmed.
