WALLIS, J.
In this Anders¹ appeal, we affirm the judgment and sentence imposed following a jury trial but remand for the trial court to correct the written judgment and sentence to reflect that the Appellant was convicted at trial rather than by entering a plea.² See Williams v. State, 422 So. 3d 1155, 1164 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025) (explaining that an appellate court may correct scrivener's errors upon Anders review); Henry v. State, 273 So. 3d 1150 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (remanding, upon Anders review, to correct a scrivener's error in the judgment and sentence incorrectly stating that the defendant entered a plea where the defendant was actually convicted by jury).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED for correction of scrivener's error.
JAY, C.J., and LAMBERT, J., concur.
