Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.810
Commitment of Defendant; Duty of Sheriff
On pronouncement of a sentence imposing a penalty other
than a fine only or death, the court shall, unless the execution of
the sentence is suspended or stayed, and, in such case, on
termination of the suspension or stay, immediately commit the
defendant to the custody of the sheriff. The commitment documents
must include certified copies of the sentence, the judgment of
conviction, and the indictment or information. If the sheriff is not
the proper official to execute the sentence, the sheriff will transfer
the prisoner, with certified copies of the commitment documents to
the custody of the official whose duty it is to execute the sentence
and shall take from that person a receipt for the defendant that will
be returned to the court.
History
Committee Notes 1968 Adoption. Substantially the same as section 922.01, Florida Statutes. There has been added to the rule the requirement that, if the commitment is to the state prison, it shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the judgment of conviction and a certified copy of the indictment or information. (Section 944.18, Florida Statutes, requires a certified copy of the indictment or information to be transmitted to the Division of Corrections; the Division of Corrections should also have a certified copy of the judgment.) 1972 Amendment. Same as prior rule.
