IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA ROBERT LEE HOWARD, Appellant, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D13-564 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed December 20, 2013. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Mallory D. Cooper, Judge. Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Richelle M. Marsico, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant; Robert Lee Howard, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. We affirm Appellant s convictions and sentences. However, due to an apparent scrivener s error, the written sentence is ambiguous as to the intended sentence structure. Given the oral pronouncement of concurrent twenty-year terms for the two counts of which Appellant was convicted, the court s intent is clear from a review of the entire record. We, therefore, remand this case for correction of the written sentence to conform to the oral pronouncement. See Bryant v. State, 38 Fla. L. Weekly D1866 (Fla. 1st DCA Aug. 30, 2013). Appellant need not be present for the correction of this clerical error. Id. AFFIRMED and REMANDED. THOMAS, RAY, and MAKAR, JJ., CONCUR. 2
