Wright v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

782 So. 2d 1007 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2001)

Opinion

No. 4D99-4237.

Opinion filed April 25, 2001.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; James I. Cohn, Judge; L.T. Case No. 99-6207 CF10A.

Affirmed but Remanded for correction of written sentence.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Ian Seldin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm appellant, Linda Wright's, sentences imposed upon her as a habitual felony offender and a prison releasee reoffender. The trial court, however, orally sentenced appellant on Count I, robbery with a weapon, to life in prison as a habitual felony offender with a mandatory minimum of thirty years as a prison releasee reoffender. The written sentence imposed upon appellant was the reverse, thirty years as a habitual felony offender and life as a prison releasee reoffender which is not authorized and does not comport with the oral sentence imposed. As the oral sentence controls, we remand for the correction of the written sentence on Count I to comport with the oral sentence imposed by the trial court. See, e.g., Trapp v. State, 760 So.2d 924, 926 n. 1 (Fla. 2000).

STONE, KLEIN and HAZOURI, JJ., Concur.
