CONNIE LEON v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

CONNIE LEON, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

Nos. 4D2025-0456, 4D2025-0580

Decided: May 20, 2026

Daniel Eisinger, Public Defender, and Ethan Goldberg, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Nathanial LeBlanc, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

Appellant Connie Leon appeals the trial court's denial of her Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) motions to correct sentencing errors in two cases, arguing that the errors in both scoresheets require resentencing.¹ We reverse only for the ministerial corrections of the scrivener's errors in the scoresheets and affirm all other issues raised without comment.

In the 2022 case, the scoresheet erroneously listed the primary offense as possession of methamphetamine. In the 2024 case, the scoresheet listed the incorrect case number, offense date and primary offense. “Florida courts have consistently permitted the correction of scrivener's errors.” Allen v. State, 421 So. 3d 708, 710 (Fla. 4th DCA 2025). As the State correctly concedes error on these issues, we reverse and remand for the correction of these scrivener's errors.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded.
