________________________________/
Opinion filed July 22, 2016
3.850 Appeal from the Circuit
Court for Putnam County,
Patti A. Christensen, Judge.
Darryle B. Long, DeFuniak Springs, pro se.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Allison Morris, Assistant
Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for
Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Darryle B. Long appeals the trial court's order summarily denying his motion for
postconviction relief, filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Long
claimed his trial counsel was ineffective for not arguing that he did not qualify for prison
releasee reoffender sentencing (PRR). However, Long pled guilty to burglary of a dwelling
with an assault or battery, and burglary of a dwelling is an enumerated offense under the
PRR statute. See § 775.082(9), Fla. Stat. (2012). Although the title of the charge in the
information is "burglary with an assault or battery," the body of the information reflects
that Long was charged with committing a burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery.
Additionally, the factual basis provided at the plea hearing indicated that Long "did
knowingly enter or remain in a dwelling." Therefore, Long qualified for PRR sentencing.
Accordingly, the trial court properly held that trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to
challenge Long's PRR designation.
AFFIRMED.
LAWSON, C.J., PALMER and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
