Antwan S. WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
In this Anders 1 appeal, we affirm the revocation of Antwan Sharon Williams' probation and resulting life sentences in four circuit court cases involving underlying charges of armed robbery with a firearm. Williams admitted to violating condition five as alleged in an affidavit of violation of probation filed on October 13, 2017, as well as conditions three, four, and five 2 as alleged in an amended affidavit of violation of probation that was filed on the same date. However, the written revocation order contains a scrivener's error reflecting a violation of condition four and three violations of condition five. Thus we must remand this matter back to the circuit court to enter a corrected revocation order reflecting that Williams violated condition five as alleged in the original affidavit and conditions three, four, and five as alleged in the amended affidavit. See Church v. State, 157 So. 3d 1053 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014).
Affirmed and remanded.
FOOTNOTES
1. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967).
2. The condition five violation in the amended affidavit was based on an arrest for possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon which was distinct from the condition five violations listed in the original affidavit.
PER CURIAM.
KHOUZAM, C.J., and MORRIS and LABRIT, JJ., Concur.
