JAMES AVERY, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 1989-04-27
No. 88-95
COBB and COWART, JJ., concur.
543 So. 2d 296 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (1989) Positive Treatment
Cited by 26 cases

Opinion of the Court
ORFINGER, Judge.

ORFINGER, Judge.

Appellant’s convictions are affirmed. The State concedes, however, that the two five year terms of probation imposed at sentencing on two of the four counts were intended by the trial court to be served concurrently, as orally pronounced at the sentencing hearing, rather than consecutively as reflected in the written orders, and that the written orders thus reflect a clerical error. An oral pronouncement at sentencing is controlling when a clerical error causes the written order to be inconsistent with the oral pronouncement. See Venuti v. State, 437 So. 2d 238 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983). We therefore remand the written probation orders to the trial court with directions that they be corrected to reflect that they run concurrently, in accordance with the oral pronouncement.

Judgments AFFIRMED. Probation orders REMANDED for correction.

COBB and COWART, JJ., concur.

State, 686 So. 2d 689 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); see also Avery v. State, 543 So. 2d 296, 297 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989). However, if the state does not concede the error was clerical, a conflict between the written order and the oral pronouncement requires a factual resolution by the trial court.
