FULMER, Judge.
James Michael O’Neill appeals the sentences imposed for several of the nine offenses with which he was charged based on a single crime spree. O’Neill entered a negotiated no contest plea to all counts in the information with the understanding that he would be sentenced to no less than fourteen and no more than twenty years in prison. After a sentencing hearing, the court imposed a twenty-year sentence on each offense, concurrent with each other, and imposed a three-year minimum mandatory on all nine counts for the use of a firearm.
O’Neill raised two sentencing issues in a motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2). The trial court ruled on the motion but not within sixty days as the rule requires. Accordingly, the motion is deemed denied. See Jackson v. State, 793 So. 2d 117, 118 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).
Of the several issues raised on appeal, one has merit. We agree, and the State concedes, that the minimum mandatory provision should be stricken from counts seven and nine. We reverse and remand for that purpose. In all other respects we affirm. From our review of the record and the terms of the negotiated plea agreement, we conclude that a claimed scoresheet error did not adversely affect the sentence imposed. See State v. DiGuilio, 491 So. 2d 1129 (Fla.1986).
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with directions to the trial court to strike the minimum mandatory provision of counts seven and nine.

Garcia v. State, 846 So. 2d 660 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003)…adverse to Garcia’s. Once it became clear that Garcia and his counsel had adversarial positions concerning what actually happened while counsel was advising Garcia concerning the plea, Garcia was entitled to conflict-free counsel. See Gunn v. State, 841 So. 2d 629 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Jones v. State, 827 So. 2d 1086 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002); Padgett v. State, 743 So. 2d 70 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). The denial of the constitutional right to assistance of counsel can never be treated as harmless error. Jones, 827 So. 2d a…

Arlis R. Jones v. State, 846 So. 2d 1224 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003)…teral consequence about which a defendant does not have to be informed, see State v. Partlow, 840 So. 2d 1040 (Fla.2003), Jones may be entitled to relief if his counsel affirmatively misled him about such a collateral consequence. See Gunn v. State, 841 So. 2d 629, 631 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Watrous v. State, 793 So. 2d 6, 11 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001). The transcript of the plea hearing attached to the trial court’s order reflects that Jones answered “no” when the court asked him whether anyone had promised him any [*1…

Brendon John Boule v. State, 884 So. 2d 1023 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004)…re refuted by the plea transcript. The trial court then denied Boule’s motion. Our review of the trial court’s denial of the motion to withdraw plea is for abuse of discretion. Crawley v. State, 851 So. 2d 739, 740 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Gunn v. State, 841 So. 2d 629, 631 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003). Because Boule filed his motion after sentencing, it is governed by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.170(0, which permits a motion to withdraw plea pursuant to the grounds specified in Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure…
