FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D18-2722 _____________________________ PAOLA SOTOLONGO, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County. John L. Miller, Judge. November 8, 2019 PER CURIAM. Upon review under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), we find no reversible error and affirm the judgment and sentence. But in doing so, we disregard the illegal sentence orally imposed on the third-degree felony conviction and affirm Appellant’s sentence as reflected in the written judgment. See Patton v. State, 673 So. 2d 530, 530 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996) (affirming defendant’s legal sentence as reflected in the written judgment even though the oral pronouncement imposed an illegal sentence). AFFIRMED. RAY, C.J., and WOLF 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. _____________________________ Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Megan Long, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. 2
