MEREDITH v. STATE (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

William Carroll MEREDITH, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 2D20-2930

Decided: April 27, 2022

Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Daniel Muller, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James Aaron Hellickson, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

William Meredith's convictions and resulting sentences for sexual battery on a physically incapacitated person and petit theft are affirmed without prejudice to any right he may have to seek relief on his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel pursuant to a postconviction motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. See Steiger v. State, 328 So. 3d 926, 932 (Fla. 2021).

The trial court previously granted Mr. Meredith relief pursuant to rule 3.800(b) and directed correction of certain sentencing documents and costs orders. The written judgment and sentence was reentered to reflect the corrections of the scrivener's errors and costs imposed, but the State has conceded that corrected versions of the scoresheet, probation order, and costs order have not yet been entered. Accordingly, we remand solely for the reentry of those additional record items as amended to reflect the corrections directed by the trial court's prior order granting the rule 3.800(b) motion.

Affirmed; remanded.

PER CURIAM.

KELLY, SMITH, and LABRIT, JJ., Concur.
