IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
IN AND FOR VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA
MOTION FOR POST-CONVICTION RELIEF
COMES NOW, Defendant Brooks Mitchell, pro se; and pursuant to Section 948.04 of
Florida Statutes (2010), requests this Court to modify the conditions of his probation. As grounds
for this motion, the Defendant states that he has already served 251 days of probation after a plea
deal was agreed on. In support thereof, Defendant states the following:
It is trite law that the court may rescind or modify at any time of the terms and conditions
theretofore imposed by the court upon the probationer. See Bernhardt v. State, 288 So.2d 490.
Defendant was convicted and sentenced by this Court on or about January 28, 2020.
Consequently, Defendant was released from jail on or about May 1, 2021. After being released,
Defendant has to serve 24 months of supervised probation until April 30, 2023.
Defendant avers that he has already served 251 days for the same case and charge.
Notably, Defendant was under probation supervision in Duval County from September 29, 2016
until June 6, 2017.
It is worth noting that the State entered a plea deal with Defendant. It is also notable that
Defendant never violated any term in the probation.
However, on or about June 6, 2017, the State vacated the plea deal and has failed to
honor its part of the bargain under the said plea deal. Defendant therefore files this Motion
seeking leave for this Court to credit the 251 days in which the Defendant was under supervision.
CONCLUSION
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Plaintiff
v.
BROOKS MITCHELL,
Defendant
CASE NO: 2015301300 CFDB
DIVISION: CR-D
JUDGE: DENNIS CRAIG
In light of the foregoing, Defendant prays this Court to issue an Order crediting
Defendant’s probation by the 251 days that Defendant has already served. Defendant also prays
for any other Order this Court deems just.
