STEVEN SANCHEZ v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2023)

In this Anders ¹ appeal, we have carefully reviewed Appellant's brief and the record on appeal. Finding no errors on the face of the record as to Appellant's adjudication of guilt and the sentences ultimately imposed, we affirm. However, we do remand for entry of a further amended judgment and sentence to correct the November 28, 2022 judgment and sentence by specifically stating that the Amended Judgment and Sentence, and all other written sentencing orders entered on November 28, 2022, in this case, reflect their imposition as “nunc pro tunc to May 18, 2022, when Steven Sanchez began serving his sentence.” This remand is to ensure that Appellant receives proper credit for all time served in prison and in jail from May 18, 2022, when he began serving his sentence through November 28, 2022, when he was resentenced. Although the trial court has noted its intention to correct the failure to note that the judgment was to be “nunc pro tunc,” that error has not yet been corrected. Appellant need not be present for such correction. See Rivera v. State, 638 So. 2d 148, 149 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
