KENNETH TONG v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2017)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

KENNETH A. TONG, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

Case No. 5D16-810

Decided: February 10, 2017

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Thomas J. Lukashow, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General Tallahassee, and Kaylee D. Tatman, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent.

Appellant challenges his judgments and sentences in St. Johns County Circuit Court case numbers 2015-CF-324 and 2015-CF-547. We affirm the judgments and sentences but remand the case to correct a scrivener's error. Appellant pled no contest, but the amended judgments in both cases, and the amended order of drug offender probation in case number 2015-CF-324, indicate that he entered a plea of guilty. Therefore, we remand the case to the trial judge to correct the judgments in both cases and the order of probation in case number 2015-CF-324 to reflect Appellant's no contest pleas.

AFFIRMED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

PER CURIAM.

WALLIS, and EDWARDS, JJ., and JACOBUS, B.W., Senior Judge, concur.
