ROBERTS v. STATE (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Mark Christopher ROBERTS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D18-95

Decided: August 31, 2018

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Sean Kevin Gravel, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Mark Christopher Roberts, Raiford, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Bonnie Jean Parrish, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

In this Anders ¹ appeal, we affirm the judgment and sentences. However, the order of probation contains a scrivener's error. Concerning count two, the trial court orally pronounced a sentence of 36 months in prison, followed by 24 months of probation. The written sentence reflects that sentence, but the order of probation states, “[t]he court hereby stays and withholds the imposition of sentence as to count ․ two and places the defendant on probation for a period of twenty-four (24) months.”

Accordingly, we remand for the trial court to correct this scrivener's error in the order of probation. See King v. State, 201 So.3d 206 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016) (affirming an Anders appeal but remanding for the trial court to correct a scrivener's error).

AFFIRMED and REMANDED with instructions.
