STEVEN RICHARD ESKRA, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Clark E. Green, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pasco County; Mary M. Handsel, Judge.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Clark E. Green, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
KHOUZAM, JUDGE.
After Steven Richard Eskra's probation was revoked, this appeal proceeded pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). We affirm the order revoking Mr. Eskra's probation and his sentence.
However, the disposition order contains a scrivener's error. Whereas the order says that Mr. Eskra admitted to violating his probation, he was in fact found in violation following a contested evidentiary hearing. We remand for the trial court to correct the scrivener's error. See, e.g., Mitchell v. State, 190 So.3d 1135, 1135 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016) (affirming revocation of probation in Anders appeal but remanding for correction of scrivener's error where revocation order "incorrectly indicates that Mr. Mitchell admitted to violating the terms of his probation, where no such admission existed"). Mr. Eskra need not be present for the correction. See, e.g., Echavarria v. State, 270 So.3d 527, 528 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019) ("Mr. Echavarria need not be present for the correction of the scrivener's errors.").
Affirmed; remanded to correct scrivener's error.
