Mark L. Horwitz and Cassandra Snapp, of Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, Orlando, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Marjorie Vincent-Tripp, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Curtis Ruff appeals his convictions and sentences for conspiracy to traffic in cocaine 400 grams or more, trafficking in cocaine 400 grams or more, possession of a structure for the purpose of trafficking in a controlled substance, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. We affirm the convictions and sentences but remand the case to correct a scrivener's error. The judgment entered indicates that Ruff pleaded nolo contendere to each of these counts when he was actually adjudicated guilty on these four counts following a jury trial. Therefore, we remand the case to the trial court to correct the judgment accordingly.

AFFIRMED and REMANDED, with directions.

TORPY, WALLIS and LAMBERT, JJ., concur.
