Synopsis

Florida appellate court affirmed probation revocation and five-year sentence for domestic violence aggravated battery but remanded for entry of a written order of revocation specifying violated conditions.


Holding

A circuit court must enter a written order of revocation specifying the conditions violated when revoking probation, rather than merely rendering a repeat judgment of conviction.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

James P. Moschiano appeals the revocation of an amended and reinstated term of probation and resulting sentence of five years’ incarceration for domestic violence aggravated battery, a second-degree felony. We find no merit in the first argument, that the circuit court abused its discretion in rejecting his claim that although he admitted the violation, it was not willful or substantial. However, we conclude his second argument is meritorious — that the circuit court erred by failing to render a written order of revocation. We therefore remand this case for entry of a written order of revocation which specifies the conditions that the circuit court found Mr. Moschiano had violated. See Dawkins v. State, 936 So.2d 710 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) 1 ; Montonez v. State, 724 So.2d 650 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999).

Affirmed; remanded with instructions.
