John Yural Hudson, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

John Yural Hudson, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2025-2422

Decided: June 26, 2026

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and Teresa Sutton, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Roberts J. Bradford, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

In this Anders ¹ appeal, we affirm the judgment and sentence imposed following a jury trial but remand for the trial court to correct the written judgment and sentence to reflect that the Appellant was convicted at trial rather than by entering a plea.² See Williams v. State, 422 So. 3d 1155, 1164 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025) (explaining that an appellate court may correct scrivener's errors upon Anders review); Henry v. State, 273 So. 3d 1150 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (remanding, upon Anders review, to correct a scrivener's error in the judgment and sentence incorrectly stating that the defendant entered a plea where the defendant was actually convicted by jury).

Affirmed; Remanded for correction of scrivener's error.
