SOTOLONGO v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Paola SOTOLONGO, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D18-2722

Decided: November 08, 2019

Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Megan Long, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Upon review under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), we find no reversible error and affirm the judgment and sentence. But in doing so, we disregard the illegal sentence orally imposed on the third-degree felony conviction and affirm Appellant's sentence as reflected in the written judgment. See Patton v. State, 673 So. 2d 530, 530 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996) (affirming defendant's legal sentence as reflected in the written judgment even though the oral pronouncement imposed an illegal sentence).

Affirmed.

Per Curiam.

Ray, C.J., and Wolf and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
