GETTIS v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Vance Gary GETTIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D18-2587

Decided: February 03, 2020

Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Joel Arnold, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant; Vance Gary Gettis, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Robert “Charlie” Lee, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Vance Gary Gettis challenges the revocation of his probation. We affirm the revocation and sentence which followed, but remand the cause for entry of a written order.

In revoking probation, the trial court orally found Gettis is a violent felony offender of special concern. Section 948.06(8)(e)1, Florida Statutes (2015), requires a trial court to make a written finding that violent felony offender of special concern poses a danger to the community. Because the trial court articulated a valid ground for designating Gettis as a violent felony offender of special concern, we affirm but remand for entry of a written order that conforms to its oral pronouncements. See Glenn v. State, 219 So. 3d 1010 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017); Arnone v. State, 204 So. 3d 556 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016); Bell v. State, 150 So. 3d 1214 (Fla. 5th DCA 2014); Martin v. State, 87 So. 3d 813 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012).

Affirmed and Remanded.

Per Curiam.

Roberts, Bilbrey, and Winokur, JJ., concur.
