Opinion of the Court
NORTHCUTT, Judge.

NORTHCUTT, Judge.

We affirm the summary denial of Bennie Frank Smith’s motion for jail credit without prejudice to his refiling a motion for postconviction relief showing entitlement to additional jail time credit pursuant to Gethers v. State, 838 So. 2d 504 (Fla.2003) (“Only if the prisoner is subject to release but is being held because a detainer has been lodged can it be said that the prisoner is in custody pursuant to the detainer.”). Such motion must “affirmatively allege[] that the court records demonstrate on their face an entitlement to that relief.” See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.800(a).

Affirmed.

ALTENBERND, C.J., and COVINGTON, J., Concur.

    …ber 20, 2008 and Bermudez’s motion was filed November 17, 2003. Therefore, Bermudez’s pro se motion to withdraw his plea was timely. The state also argues that Bermu-dez’s pro se motion was a nullity as the second district found in Mourra v. State, 884 So. 2d 316 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004). In Mourra the second district held that pleadings filed by a defendant who is represented by counsel are a nullity unless they include some unequivocal request to discharge counsel. Id. at 321. However, in our decision in Peterso…
