DARBY, DOC #T74933, ) ) ) Appellant, ) ) v. ) ) STATE OF FLORIDA, ) ) Appellee. ) ________________________________ ) Case No. 2D14-5871 Opinion filed November 4, 2015. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Kimberly K. Fernandez, Judge. Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Megan Olson, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Lavontrai T. Darby appeals the order revoking his probation and his resulting sentence. The record supports the trial court's finding that Mr. Darby substantially violated the conditions of his probation by committing two new law violations contrary to condition 5 of his probation. Thus we affirm the order of revocation of probation and the sentence imposed. However, we remand for the entry of a corrected revocation order. In its order of revocation, the trial court did not state the conditions that Mr. Darby was found to have violated. Accordingly, we remand for the entry of an amended order of revocation setting forth the conditions violated and conforming to the trial court's oral pronouncements made during the revocation hearing. See Nolen v. State, 627 So. 2d 580, 581 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993); Oliver v. State, 819 So. 2d 816, 816 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002). Mr. Darby need not be present for this ministerial task. Affirmed; remanded with directions. WALLACE, KHOUZAM, and SALARIO, JJ., Concur. -2-
