TORRES DOC T02261 v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Alex TORRES, DOC #T02261, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 2D18-1363

Decided: November 22, 2019

Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Richard Sanders, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Carolyn Snurkowski, Associate Deputy Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Donna S. Koch, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Alex Torres appeals from his amended sentence for first-degree murder rendered after he was resentenced pursuant to this court's mandate in Torres v. State, 159 So. 3d 164 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015). We affirm the amended sentence without comment. We note, however, that the sentencing court orally pronounced that the amended murder sentence would run concurrently with Mr. Torres's sentences for several other offenses, but the written amended sentence states that the sentences for those other offenses shall run consecutively to the murder sentence. We therefore remand this matter with instructions for the sentencing court to render amended sentences that conform to its oral pronouncement. See, e.g., Hios v. State, 586 So. 2d 510, 511 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991); Jones v. State, 575 So. 2d 309, 309 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991).

Affirmed; remanded with instructions.

PER CURIAM

KELLY, SALARIO, and ATKINSON, JJ., Concur.
