Timothy Ray Finley v. State of Florida

FIFTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ Case No. 5D2025-2144 LT Case No. 10-2022-CF-867-A ____________________________ TIMOTHY RAY FINLEY, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Clay County. Don H. Lester, Senior Judge. Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and Jane Almy, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Timothy Ray Finley, Mayo, pro se. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Robert Charles Lee, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. October 2, 2026 PER CURIAM.  In this Anders1 case, we affirm Appellant’s judgment and sentence. The judgment, however, incorrectly states that Appellant entered a guilty plea. Instead, he was convicted by a jury. We cannot say that this error is harmless to Appellant. We therefore remand for the trial court to correct the judgment. Henry v. State, 273 So. 3d 1150, 1150 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (“On remand, the court is instructed to correct the judgment and sentence to reflect that Appellant was found guilty by a jury, as it erroneously indicates Appellant entered a plea.”). AFFIRMED and REMANDED. MAKAR, LAMBERT, and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ 1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). 2
