HOLLIS v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Melissa Correa HOLLIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D18-3037

Decided: August 09, 2019

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Scott G. Hubbard, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Marjorie Vincent-Tripp, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Melissa Correa Hollis entered pleas in six separate cases. On appeal, Hollis argues that the court erred in accepting her pleas and entering a sentence. We find no error.

However, in two of the cases,¹ Hollis pled guilty to violating probation, but the court failed to enter written orders identifying which conditions of probation she violated. “If a trial court revokes a defendant's probation, the court is required to render a written order noting the specific conditions of probation that were violated.” Musto v. State, 174 So. 3d 568, 569–70 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015) (citations omitted); see also Patt v. State, 876 So. 2d 1278, 1278 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004); Brinson v. State, 866 So. 2d 1268, 1269 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). The record reflects that at the plea hearing, the court identified that Hollis violated condition five of her probation in both cases. Accordingly, we remand for entry of written orders reflecting those violations.

AFFIRMED; REMANDED with instructions.
