NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DETERMINED IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT ANGELA COMBS, ) ) Appellant, ) ) v. ) ) STATE OF FLORIDA, ) ) Appellee. ) ________________________________ ) Case No. 2D14-4921 Opinion filed March 16, 2016. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Charlotte County; John L. Burns, Acting Circuit Judge. Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Bruce P. Taylor, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Gillian N. Leytham, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee. NORTHCUTT, Judge. Angela Combs appeals an order of revocation of her probation and her resulting ten-year prison sentence. We affirm and write only to correct a scrivener's error apparent on the face of the revocation order. The revocation order states that Combs violated condition eight of her probation—failing to submit to drug testing. The transcript of the violation hearing reflects, however, that the trial court found that Combs had willfully failed to complete drug treatment. We therefore remand for the limited purpose of correcting the order of revocation to accurately reflect the grounds for revocation. See Margolis v. State, 148 So. 3d 532, 532 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014). Affirmed; remanded with instructions. KHOUZAM and CRENSHAW, JJ., Concur. -2-
