Wright v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Oct 24, 1990
568 So. 2d 1313 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 89-02997.

October 24, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; Robert A. Young, Acting Circuit Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender and Megan Olson, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee and Anne Y. Swing, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we find that the appellant has failed to demonstrate any reversible error, and therefore, the judgments and sentences are affirmed. However, the trial court's written order of judgment and sentence varied from its oral pronouncement at sentencing in open court. The written order of judgment and sentence recited that the appellant was guilty of possession of cocaine with intent to sell or deliver and imposed a fine. The trial court at the sentencing hearing adjudicated the appellant guilty of the lesser included offense of possession of cocaine and stated that no fine would be imposed.

Since a trial court's written order of judgment and sentence must not vary from its oral pronouncement, Perez v. State, 498 So.2d 1005 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986), the case must be remanded to correct these errors.

Accordingly, the cause is remanded to the trial court to allow correction of the clerical errors.

SCHOONOVER, C.J., and SCHEB and DANAHY, JJ., concur.
