KENNETH BALDWIN,
Appellant,

Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Charlotte County.
Lisa Porter, Judge.

WOZNIAK, J.
We affirm the trial court’s order denying Appellant’s amended motion to
correct sentence without prejudice to Appellant’s filing a Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.800(a) motion in the trial court to correct the scrivener’s error
mistakenly referencing the entry of a no contest plea to Count II. See Freeman v.
State, 415 So. 3d 923, 923 (Fla. 6th DCA 2025) (“We decline to reach the merits of
Freeman’s additional claim that the revocation order contains a scrivener’s error
because that claim is not preserved for our review and does not constitute
fundamental error.” (citing Thomas v. State, 725 So. 2d 1148, 1149 (Fla. 2d DCA
1998))); Jones v. State, 413 So. 3d 839, 839-40 (Fla. 6th DCA 2024) (finding
scrivener’s error issue preserved because it was first raised via a rule 3.800(b)
motion).
AFFIRMED without prejudice.
MIZE and GANNAM, JJ., concur.
Kenneth Baldwin, Bushnell, pro se.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wendy Buffington, Senior
Assistant Attorney General, and David Campbell, Assistant Attorney General,
Tampa, for Appellee.
