The trial court properly denied the defendant's motion to suppress evidence from a vehicle search, and the convictions and sentences are affirmed, but the judgment must be corrected to reflect the proper felony designation.
[1] A clerical error in a judgment designating a felony classification may be corrected on appeal even when substantive aspects of a conviction are affirmed.

PER CURIAM.
In these consolidated appeals proceeding under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), we affirm, without further discussion, the trial court’s order denying Appellant’s dispositive
motion to suppress the evidence obtained from the search of his vehicle and the judgments and sentences thereafter imposed following his no contest plea in both cases.
However, because there appears to be a clerical error in the judgment entered in circuit court case number 1988-CF-006652 as it reflects Appellant’s conviction for burglary with a battery as a first-degree felony (“F1”), instead of a first-degree felony punishable by up to life in prison (“F1-PBL”), we remand for the trial court to enter a corrected judgment.
AFFIRMED; REMANDED with directions to correct clerical error.
EDWARDS, C.J., WALLIS, and LAMBERT, JJ., concur.
