JORDAN LEE JACKSON, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.
Following a jury trial, the jury found Appellant Jordan Lee Jackson guilty of throwing or shooting a deadly missile at victim. The trial court sentenced Appellant to fifteen years in prison. Appellant has filed an appeal raising challenges to an evidentiary ruling and the size of the jury. We affirm on both issues without discussion.
Appellant also contends that the trial court's written judgment “contains a scrivener's error indicating that [Appellant] entered a plea of guilty in this case.”1 As noted above, Appellant was found guilty after a trial, rather than by way of a plea. The State agrees with Appellant that remand is proper for the trial court to correct the scrivener's error. We also agree and remand for correction. See Sirota v. State, 977 So. 2d 700, 701 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008). Appellant does not need to be present for this correction. Id.
Affirmed; Remanded for Correction of Scrivener's Error.
