Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Samuel Wright appeals the trial court’s denial of his Rule 3.800 motion to correct sentencing error. Mr. Wright contends that the written sentence does not comport with his plea agreement, nor the trial court’s oral announcement made during the sentencing hearing that it accepted the agreement, in that it does not order that the sentences in Mr. Wright’s various cases be served concurrently. The State has confessed error, and our independent review of the record indicates that Mr. Wright is entitled to relief. We therefore reverse the order on appeal and remand for the trial court to enter a sentencing order that reflects the mutual agreement of the parties. Reversed and remanded.
