531 So. 2d 253 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 88-0452.

September 28, 1988.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County; John G. Ferris, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Jeffrey L. Anderson, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Deborah Guller, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm the trial court's revocation of probation but remand with direction to strike from the order of revocation, signed by a county judge, the three violations (I, II and V) which the circuit judge hearing this matter did not find to have occurred.

The circuit judge's sentence of appellant was based upon the two remaining violations (III and IV). The erroneous form order was signed — after the legally correct sentencing — by a substitute judge who was fulfilling only a ministerial role.

DOWNEY, GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
