No. 1D2025-2323
_____________________________
DELONDRA KNIGHT,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Hamilton County.
Jamie L. Tyndal, Judge.
September 23, 2026
PER CURIAM.
Appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Knight did not file a pro se
brief. Following our independent review, we affirm the revocation
of Knight’s supervision and his orally pronounced sentences. The
written judgment and sentencing documents, however, contain
scrivener’s errors requiring correction.
A scrivener’s error is “a mistake in the written sentence that
is at variance with the oral pronouncement of sentence or the
record but not those errors that are the result of a judicial
determination or error.” Ashley v. State, 850 So. 2d 1265, 1268 n.3
(Fla. 2003) (citation omitted); see also Williams v. State, 422 So. 3d
1155, 1164 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025). The judgment incorrectly states
that Knight was tried and found guilty, although he admitted to
the violations of probation in an open plea. The count 2 sentencing
form does not reflect the revocation of Knight’s supervision. And
the written designations of concurrent sentences conflict with the
oral pronouncement of a five-year sentence on count 1 followed by
a consecutive three-year sentence on count 2.
We therefore remand solely for the trial court to correct the
judgment to reflect Knight’s orally pronounced sentence. Knight
need not be present for these ministerial corrections. See Berry v.
State, 342 So. 3d 283, 283 (Fla. 1st DCA 2022).
AFFIRMED and REMANDED for correction of scrivener’s errors.
BILBREY, TREADWELL, and NEFF, JJ., concur.
