STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________
No. 1D18-4363
_____________________________
MICHAEL JONES,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Robert E. Long, Judge.
March 26, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Michael Jones challenges the trial court’s revocation of his
probation. As the State concedes, the trial court erred in failing to
enter a written order of revocation of probation. See Hodges v.
State, 262 So. 3d 842, 846 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018) (explaining that
upon revoking a defendant’s probation, the trial court must render
a written order of revocation specifying the conditions of probation
that were violated). Accordingly, we remand for the trial court to
enter a written order revoking Jones’s probation and specifying the
conditions of probation he was found to have violated. Jones need
not be present for the entry of the order. * See Tribue v. State, 274
So. 3d 1177, 1178 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019).
REMANDED with directions.
RAY, C.J., and LEWIS and OSTERHAUS, JJ., concur.

* Upon the trial court’s rendering of a written order of
revocation of probation, Jones may appeal if he contends that any
of the grounds relied on by the court are not supported by the
evidence. See Mitchell v. State, 238 So. 3d 386, 387 n.2 (Fla. 3d
DCA 2018).
