Robert Alvester Lamb, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Robert Alvester Lamb, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2025-0507

Decided: December 05, 2025

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and George D.E. Burden, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Christina Piotrowski, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

In this appeal proceeding under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), we affirm the judgment and sentence imposed by the trial court following Appellant's open, guilty plea to the charged offense. However, we remand with directions to the trial court to enter an amended sentencing order to include the orally pronounced three-year minimum mandatory sentence. See Flowers v. State, 395 So. 3d 1077 (Fla. 5th DCA 2024); Youngblood v. State, 410 So. 3d 598 (Fla. 5th DCA 2024); Williams v. State, 50 Fla. L. Weekly D1636 (Fla. 5th DCA Jul. 25, 2025) (distinguishing scrivener's errors from legal errors, and concluding “the sua sponte correction of errors harmful to the government in an Anders case is strictly limited to scrivener's errors”).

Affirmed, Remanded with directions.

Per Curiam.

Soud, Boatwright, and MacIver, JJ., concur.
