Opinion
No. 96-1244.
May 27, 1997.
An appeal from Circuit Court for Escambia County; Michael Jones, Judge.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Carol Ann Turner, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and James W. Rogers, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
We affirm the appellant's convictions, but, because the trial judge did not enter a written order of his decision to impose adult sanctions on the juvenile appellant, we vacate the appellant's sentences and remand this case for the trial court to issue a nunc pro tunc written order. No new sentencing hearing is required, and the appellant need not be present for the ministerial function of entering a written order that conforms to the judge's oral pronouncement. See Bridgewater v. State, 668 So.2d 1092 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996).
MINER, ALLEN and LAWRENCE, JJ., concur.
