JOHNSON v. STATE (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Walter Lewis JOHNSON, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D17-0768

Decided: July 25, 2018

Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Barbara Busharis, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Amanda Stokes, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

We affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence, and remand solely for the court to enter a written adjudication nunc pro tunc of the competency determination the court has already made. See Hunter v. State, 174 So.3d 1011, 1015 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (remanding for entry of nunc pro tunc written order). The record reflects that the court made a proper and independent adjudication of Appellant's competency after the court raised a competency concern and had Appellant evaluated. We reject Appellant's other arguments on appeal without further comment.

Affirmed; Remanded for entry of order.

Per Curiam.

Lewis, Kelsey, and Winsor, JJ., concur.
