FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL

No. 1D18-2881 _____________________________

BRENT JAMES SMITH-PICKFORD,

Appellant,

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County. Jennie Kinsey, Judge.

June 20, 2019

PER CURIAM.

Upon review pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), we find no error with Appellant’s judgment or sentence, and affirm. We write only to correct a scrivener’s error on Appellant’s judgment. See Ashley v. State, 850 So. 2d 1265, 1268 n. 3 (Fla. 2003) (defining a scrivener’s error as a written clerical error that is not “the result of a judicial determination or error”). Appellant’s written judgment reflects that attempted robbery armed with a firearm is a first-degree felony. However, attempted robbery armed with a firearm is a second-degree felony. See §§ 812.13(2)(a); 775.087(2); 777.04, Fla. Stat. (2018). On remand, the trial court shall correct the error.
