Harris, 129 So. 3d 1166, 1168 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014) (“Harris first argued in his 3.800(a) motion that the sentence for count 5 was illegal because the trial court did not orally pronounce the sentence. . . .

State, 996 So. 2d 954, 954 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008) (“Christopher Miller seeks review of a trial court order denying his motion to correct illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a).
