Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Defendant James Earl Hinkle was convicted of first degree murder of one victim, attempted first degree murder of another, and armed burglary. We find no merit to his argument on appeal; however, we remand for correction of an error in the written sentencing order. At the sentencing hearing, the trial judge stated that the sentences for attempted first degree murder and armed burglary were to be served concurrent with each other, but consecutive to the sentence for first degree murder. Yet, the written order reflects that all of the sentences are to be served concurrently.

A court’s written order of judgment and sentence must not vary from its oral pronouncement. Therefore, we remand this case to the trial court for correction of the written sentences. A.R. v. State, 475 So. 2d 308 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985); Jackson v. State, 445 So. 2d 407 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984). Otherwise, we affirm the defendant’s convictions and sentences.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and DANAHY and CAMPBELL, JJ., concur.

    …Reber was guilty of misdemeanor possession of cannabis because the evidence showed possession of only 2.1 grams, not more than twenty grams, as charged. The written judgment and sentence should not vary from the oral pronouncements. Hinkle v. State, 480 So. 2d 206 (Fla. 2d DCA1985).
