Robinson v. State, No. 49A05-1405-CR-224, __ N.E.3d __ (Ind. Ct. App., Oct. 1, 2014).

October 2, 2014 Filed Under: Criminal Tagged With: Appeals, M. Robb

Robb, J.
In September 2013, James Robinson pleaded guilty to forgery and was ordered to serve four years on home detention. In December 2013, Robinson was awarded a general education development diploma (“GED”). In 2014, the trial court revoked his community corrections placement and ordered him to serve the balance of his sentence in the Indiana Department of Correction (“DOC”) due to several violations of his placement occurring in December 2013 and January 2014. In this expedited appeal,  [footnote omitted] Robinson contends the trial court erred in denying his motion for educational credit time when revoking his placement and ordering he serve the remainder of his sentence in the DOC. Concluding the trial court is the proper authority to determine whether Robinson was entitled to the credit time he seeks, but that the trial court has not yet addressed whether he met the requirements for educational credit time, we reverse and remand.
