NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO

FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND

DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED

JUAN JOSE SAPEG,

Appellant,

v. Case No. 5D20-898

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee. ________________________________/

Opinion filed May 22, 2020

3.800 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Denise Kim Beamer, Judge

Juan Jose Sapeg, Sanford, pro se.

No Appearance for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm, without further discussion, the postconviction court’s denial of Appellant’s Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence. See Brooks v. State, 969 So. 2d 238, 243 (Fla. 2007) (holding that for motions filed under rule 3.800(a), any error in the scoresheet is harmless if the trial court could have imposed the same sentence using a correct scoresheet). We remand, however, for the court to enter a corrected scoresheet to show that Appellant’s conviction on count one was for a level eight offense and that his conviction on count nine was for a level four offense. AFFIRMED; REMANDED with directions. LAMBERT, GROSSHANS, and SASSO, JJ., concur.
