Scottie Bruce HEGGS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Upon review pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), we find no reversible error and affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence. We write only to correct two scrivener's errors in the judgment. See Ashley v. State, 850 So. 2d 1265, 1268 n. 3 (Fla. 2003) (defining a scrivener's error as a written clerical error that is not “the result of a judicial determination or error”). Appellant's written judgment reflects that possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a third-degree felony. However, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a second-degree felony. § 790.23(3), Fla. Stat. (2016). On remand, the trial court shall correct the judgment to reflect Appellant's conviction of a second-degree felony. Additionally, the trial court orally imposed a $50 fee for the public defender application. However, the written judgment includes a $100 fee. On remand, the trial court shall correct the judgment to reflect a $50 public defender application fee. See Skinner v. State, 155 So. 3d 497, 497 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015).
Judgment Affirmed, and cause Remanded for correction of scrivener's errors.
Per Curiam.
