Summary of this case from Green v. State

Opinion

No. 2D07-5087.

March 4, 2009.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Manuel A Lopez, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Allyn M. Giambalvo, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Dawn Elizabeth Adams, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


Jerry L. West seeks review of the final judgment and sentence adjudicating him guilty of unauthorized use or possession of a driver's license as well as the revocation of his probation. We affirm without comment the conviction and the revocation of probation based on the conviction. However, because the written order of revocation does not conform to the trial court's oral pronouncement, we remand with directions that the revocation order be corrected to conform to the oral pronouncement.

At the revocation hearing, the trial court announced that it was revoking West's probation for two violations of condition 5 based on West's failure to live and remain at liberty without violating the law. However, the written revocation order states that probation was revoked for four violations of condition 5 and a separate violation of condition 4.

The trial court found that West violated this condition by possessing and delivering cocaine.

"A written order of revocation of probation must conform [to] the trial court's oral pronouncement." Turner v. State, 873 So.2d 480, 481 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (citing Williams v. State, 764 So.2d 757 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000)). Accordingly, we remand this case with directions to the trial court to correct the written revocation order to conform to the oral pronouncement.

Affirmed; remanded with directions.

DAVIS and SILBERMAN, JJ, Concur.
