BUNNELL v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Rocky T. BUNNELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 2D18-3793

Decided: March 11, 2020

Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Tosha Cohen, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Rocky Bunnell appeals four judgments and sentences entered pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement. We affirm his judgments and sentences. However, “[b]ecause the trial court made an oral determination that” Mr. Bunnell “was competent but failed to render a written order to that effect we must remand the case to the trial court for entry of a nunc pro tunc order finding” Mr. Bunnell “competent to stand trial.” See Holland v. State, 185 So. 3d 636, 637 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016); see also Hampton v. State, 988 So. 2d 103, 106 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008); Corbitt v. State, 744 So. 2d 1130, 1130 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999).

Affirmed; remanded with directions.

PER CURIAM.

SILBERMAN, MORRIS, and LUCAS, JJ., Concur.
