STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 2D13-1394 Opinion filed February 26, 2014. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Ronald N. Ficarrotta, Judge. Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Pamela H. Izakowitz, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wendy Buffington, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant. DAVIS, Chief Judge. Michael Anthony Williams challenges the convictions and sentences entered following his no contest plea to charges of dealing in stolen property and providing false information on a secondary metals recycling form. We affirm without comment. But the State correctly notes that the box checked on the plea form erroneously reflects that a guilty plea was entered. It is clear from both the transcript of the plea hearing and the written judgment that Mr. Williams entered a no contest plea. We therefore remand for the limited purpose of correcting the written plea form to reflect that a no contest plea was entered. See Floyd v. State, 929 So. 2d 1191 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006). Affirmed; remanded. LaROSE and KHOUZAM, JJ., Concur. -2-
