Opinion filed May 3, 2019.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Highlands County; Peter F. Estrada, Judge.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Timothy J. Ferreri, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
LaROSE, Chief Judge.
Appellant's counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). We have jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.030(b)(1)(A). We affirm Niyke Deangelo Echavarria's judgment and sentences; we remand for correction of obvious scrivener's errors in the written sentences.
Mr. Echavarria pleaded no contest to possession of cocaine within 1000 feet of a school with intent to sell and sale of cocaine within 1000 feet of a school. See § 893.13(1)(c)(1), Fla. Stat. (2015). The trial court sentenced him to concurrent terms of 98.25 months in prison, with a three-year mandatory-minimum prison term, for both offenses. The trial court also orally imposed various fines and costs, including a $300 fine pursuant to section 775.083, Florida Statutes (2018), for both offenses. However, the written sentences reflect a $300 fine pursuant to section 773.083, Florida Statutes; a nonexistent statute.
Although we affirm, we remand for the trial court to correct the scrivener's errors. See Rivera v. State, 117 So. 3d 449-50 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) (remanding for correction of the written sentences to reflect the oral pronouncement in an Anders appeal); Skinner v. State, 155 So. 3d 497, 497 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015) (remanding for correction of scrivener's error in the order on fines and costs in an Anders appeal). Mr. Echavarria need not be present for the correction of the scrivener's errors. See Rodriguez v. State, 223 So. 3d 1053, 1055 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017).
Affirmed; remanded to correct scrivener's errors. VILLANTI and ATKINSON, JJ., Concur.
