DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT January Term 2012 JUSTIN E. MAYS, Petitioner, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. No. 4D10-313 [May 2, 2012] PER CURIAM. We grant Justin Mays petition for writ of habeas corpus alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel so that the trial court may correct a scrivener s error contained in the petitioner s judgment. See Sinyard v. State, 799 So. 2d 1067 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); see also Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(d). Mays judgment incorrectly lists one of his charges as Count 3 (Criminal Solicitation) instead of Count 5 (also Criminal Solicitation). Count 3 of the information charged Mays codefendant Hakam Sueliman not Mays. Mays, however, was charged with Criminal Solicitation under Count 5. We direct the trial court to enter a corrected judgment. The remaining claims raised are denied without comment. Petition Granted in part; Denied in part; and Remanded.
