1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) pronounced a sentence of 36 months in prison, followed by 24 months of probation. The written sentence reflects that sentence, but the order of probation states, "[t]he court hereby stays and withholds the imposition of sentence as to count . . . two and places the defendant on probation for a period of twenty-four (24) months."
