No. 1D19-4183
_____________________________
LARRY JAMES WILLIAMS,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County.
Paul S. Bryan, Judge.
October 23, 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. Appellant’s written judgment reflects
that the trial court revoked probation and sentenced him on count
three, felony driving with license suspended or revoked. However,
while this count was included in the affidavit of violation of
probation, the record shows that count three was not included in
the plea agreement or order revoking probation, nor was it
discussed at the plea hearing. Notably, the trial court did not orally
adjudicate Appellant guilty or sentence Appellant on this count.
See Hall v. State, 105 So. 3d 642, 644 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (“[I]t is
well settled that the trial court’s oral pronouncement of sentence
controls over the written sentencing order.”). On remand, the trial
court shall correct the written judgment, removing count three.
Appellant need not be present for this ministerial correction to the
judgment. See Walton v. State, 106 So. 3d 522, 529 (Fla. 1st DCA
2013).
AFFIRMED and REMANDED.
RAY, C.J., and BILBREY and NORDBY, JJ., concur.
