Kevon OBAS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and J. Woodson Isom, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Anesha Worthy, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and J. Woodson Isom, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Anesha Worthy, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Kevon Obas, challenges his convictions and sentences for two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of robbery with a firearm. We affirm appellant's convictions and sentences without comment, but write to address appellant's third issue.

Appellant argues that the trial court's amended judgment contains a scrivener's error inaccurately describing Count II as attempted first-degree murder with the discharge of a firearm causing great bodily harm, although the victim in Count II did not suffer injury. The state concedes this but also points to another scrivener's error in Count I, where the trial court erroneously removed the reference to section 775.087(2)(a) 3, Florida Statutes, under which appellant was charged for causing great bodily harm to the victim in Count I.

The record reflects both errors in the written judgment. Accordingly, we affirm appellant's convictions and sentences but remand with instructions for the trial court to correct the two scrivener's errors. See Ali v. State , 215 So.3d 1250, 1251 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017) (remanding for trial court to correct scrivener's error on the final judgment to reflect the offenses for which appellant violated probation); Sweeney v. State , 138 So.3d 1095, 1095 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) (remanding for trial court to correct statute number on defendant's sentence). Appellant need not be present for this ministerial action. See Williams v. State , 697 So.2d 584, 584 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997).

Affirmed; Remanded for correction of scrivener's errors.

Taylor, May and Damoorgian, JJ., concur.
