FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D17-4063 _____________________________ PHILLIP ARNEZ BENJAMIN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County. Jan Shackelford, Judge. August 23, 2019 PER CURIAM. Upon review pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), we find no error with Appellant’s judgment or sentence, and affirm. We write only to correct a scrivener’s error on Appellant’s Criminal Punishment Code Scoresheet. Appellant was found guilty by jury verdict, but his scoresheet incorrectly indicates that the charges were resolved by plea. On remand, the trial court shall correct this error. See, e.g., Carter v. State, 173 So. 3d 1048, 1051 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (affirming judgment but remanding for correction of scrivener's error where scoresheet incorrectly indicated plea instead of trial). Judgment AFFIRMED and cause REMANDED for correction of scrivener’s error. LEWIS, OSTERHAUS, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Phillip Arnez Benjamin, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. 2
