Synopsis

The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the revocation of Xavier Scott's community control and his sentences for failing to register as a sex offender. However, the court remanded the case for the trial court to issue a written order specifying the exact conditions of probation that were violated.


Holding

The court held that while the revocation of community control and the sentences were proper, the trial court failed to specify the conditions of probation that were violated in a written order. Therefore, the case must be remanded for this correction.
