KENNETH CHAMBERS,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Robert E. Long, Jr., Judge.
May 29, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Upon review pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738,
87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), we find no reversible error
and affirm Appellant’s judgment and sentence. We write only to
correct a scrivener’s error in the judgment. See Ashley v. State, 850
So.2d 1265, 1268 n.3 (Fla. 2003) (defining a scrivener’s error as a
written clerical error that is not “the result of a judicial
determination or error”). Appellant’s written judgment reflects
that leaving the scene of a crash involving serious bodily injury is
a third-degree felony. However, leaving the scene of a crash
involving serious bodily injury is a second-degree felony.
§§ 316.027(2)(b), Fla. Stat. (2017). On remand, the trial court shall
correct the judgment to reflect Appellant’s conviction of a second-
degree felony.
AFFIRMED and REMANDED for correction of a scrivener’s error.
ROBERTS, OSTERHAUS, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
