Justin KENDALL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), we have reviewed the entire record on appeal and brief filed by counsel seeking to withdraw. There are no issues of arguable merit in the two appeals before this Court, arising from lower court cases numbered 15-5828CF10A and 16-009287CF10A. We specifically reject appellant's sentencing challenge in the 2015 case, based on the authorities recognizing that a defendant is not entitled to retain his youthful offender status after his violation of probation and adult sentencing. See Eustache v. State, 248 So.3d 1097, 1102 (Fla. 2018); Granger v. State, 252 So.3d 769 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018). Therefore, we affirm the adjudications and sentences.
However, the record demonstrates that the trial court did not file a written order revoking community control in case number 15-5828CF10A. This requires remand to the trial court for entry of a written order revoking community control and specifying the conditions violated. Musto v. State, 174 So.3d 568, 569-70 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).
Affirmed, but remanded for entry of written revocation order in case number 15-5828CF10A, consistent with this opinion.
Per Curiam.
Gerber, C.J., Taylor and Levine, JJ., concur.
