STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 2D14-1720 Opinion filed July 10, 2015. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; Michael E. Raiden, Judge. Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Richard P. Albertine, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. We affirm Kenyon Covington's convictions and sentences for fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer without violence. Despite the court granting Covington's motion to correct a scrivener's error, Covington's amended written judgment erroneously reflects that he was convicted of aggravated fleeing or eluding. Accordingly, we remand for entry of a corrected written judgment. See Moore v. State, 100 So. 3d 81, 81 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011). Covington need not be present when the correction is made. Convictions and sentences affirmed; remanded for correction of the written judgment. KELLY, CRENSHAW, and BLACK, JJ., Concur. -2-
