The opinion of the court was delivered by
In 1984, Jackie Lofton was convicted by jury trial of rape (K.S.A. 21-3502 [Ensley 1981]), kidnapping (K.S.A. 21-3420 [Ensley 1981]), and battery (K.S.A. 21-3412 [Ensley 1981]), two class B felonies and one class B misdemeanor, respectively, fоr which he received two 15-years to life sentences plus 6 months in the county jail. All sеntences were to run consecutively. His convictions were affirmed by this court on December 6,1985, in an unpublished opinion, State v. Lofton, No. 57,500.
On February 11, 2000, defendant filed a pro se motiоn entitled “Motion of Nunc Pro Tunc Pursuant to K.S.A. 22-3504(1)” in which he contends his jail time credits had beеn improperly computed. He contends that a credit of the 7 months and 2 days he spent in jail awaiting trial on these charges should have been credited to thе sentence imposed on each of the two felonies, for a total of 14 months and 4 dаys credit on his aggregate prison sentences.
“The court may сorrect an illegal sentence at any time. The defendant shall receivе full credit for time spent in custody under the sentence prior to correction. The defendant shall have a right to a hearing, after reasonable noticе to be fixed by tire court, to be personally present and to have die assistance of counsel in any proceeding for tire correction of an illegal sentence.”
The basis for this determination was that there was no claim that either sentence was illegal. The sentences of 15 years to life on eaсh of the two felonies, running consecutively, were lawful sentences. Defendant’s only complaint concerns the amount of jail time which was credited to his lawful sеntences. We agree with the district court.
We have defined an illegal sentenсe as a sentence imposed by a court without jurisdiction, a sentence whiсh does not conform to the statutory provision, either in character or thе term of punishment authorized, or a sentence which is ambiguous with respect to the time and manner in which it is to be served. State v. Duke,
The district court further held that even if the issue of the amount of jail time credit were properly before it, defendant was entitled tо no additional credit. We agree. Defendant argues that the jail time credit statute, K.S.A. 21-4614, and the decision in State v. Jenkins,
The judgment is affirmed.
