Hola Shirley

Dejarme en paz isn't correct. Although you may here the infinitive used like this sometimes colloquially it's not considered correct. The infinitive used in "commands" is more restricted to public signs of the type "No fumar". Here's a lesson on this.

Is déjame en paz correct then ?

Ashlyn, 

"déjame en paz" is correct, yes. Here there is the imperative with the pronoun attached "deja - me", but what Shirley was asking was if "dejarme en paz" was correct or not. (using the infinitive dejaRme en paz)

Saludos
