The defendant, Ray Famous, appeals from an order of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County denying his petition for credit toward his prison sentence for time served while on probation. We dismiss the appeal for lack of a final, appealable judgment. The State charged the defendant with five counts of forgery and, in a separate case, with one count of stealing a credit card. In 1999, the defendant pleaded guilty to all six charges. The circuit court sentenced the defendant as a prior and persistent offender to ten years of imprisonment on each charge, all sentences to be served concurrently, suspended execution of the sentences, and placed the defendant on five years of probation. In 2002, a probation revocation request was filed, the defendant's probation was suspended, and a warrant was issued. Following the defendant's arrest on unrelated charges, the circuit court revoked the defendant's probation in 2008 and executed his prison sentences. Four years later, the defendant filed a petition with the circuit court seeking credit for time he spent on probation. Specifically, the defendant sought credit
