Smith v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District

681 So. 2d 715 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 95-01186.

January 26, 1996.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Charlotte County; Donald E. Pellecchia, Judge.

John Edward Smith, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Susan D. Dunlevy, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


In this appeal, John Edward Smith argues that his habitual offender sentence is barred by double jeopardy. We disagree and affirm. See Johnson v. State, 576 So.2d 916 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991). Our review of the record, however, reveals a scrivener's error. Smith received a habitual offender sentence only in circuit court case number 93-14 but the amended sentences in five other cases also reflect habitual offender status. We direct the trial court to strike the habitual offender designation in the written sentences for circuit court case numbers 92-600, 92-601, 92-717, 92-747 and 92-766. Smith need not be present.

BLUE, A.C.J., and LAZZARA and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
