JOHNSON v. STATE (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Frederick Michael JOHNSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 2D19-1186

Decided: March 31, 2021

Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Robert D. Rosen, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Chelsea N. Simms, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Frederick Johnson appeals an order revoking his community control and sentencing him as a Violent Felony Offender of Special Concern (VFOSC). We affirm the revocation and sentence. However, while the trial court made detailed oral findings that Mr. Johnson posed a threat to the community prior to adjudicating him a VFOSC, it failed to render those findings in writing as required by section 948.06(8)(e), Florida Statutes (2019). Accordingly, we remand for the trial court to make written findings conforming with its oral pronouncement. See McCray v. State, 282 So. 3d 158, 162 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019).

Affirmed; remanded with instructions.

PER CURIAM.

KHOUZAM, C.J., and LUCAS and STARGEL, JJ., Concur.
