DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT January Term 2008 KEITH SIROTA, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. No. 4D07-1025 [March 19, 2008] SHAHOOD, C.J. Appellant, Keith Sirota, was found guilty following a jury trial of one count of soliciting a child under sixteen years of age via the internet, and three counts of transmission of material harmful to a minor. He raises six issues on appeal all of which we find to be without merit and affirm without discussion. The judgment entered in this case contains a scrivener s error showing that appellant entered a plea of guilty. In actuality, appellant entered a plea of not guilty and was convicted following a jury trial. We remand for correction of the scrivener s error. See Newson v. State, 867 So. 2d 603 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004). Appellant need not be present for this correction. Affirmed; Remanded for Correction of Scrivener s Error.
