982 So. 2d 718

Docket No. 2D07-5875.

Butler v. State

John William BUTLER, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2008-04-04

Decided 2008-04-04

¶1PER CURIAM.

¶2John Butler timely appeals the denial of a motion to define or clarify his sentence, *719 which this court has considered as a motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The transcript of the April 14, 2005, sentencing hearing shows that Mr. Butler's sentence was imposed concurrently with any other existing sentence. The sentencing court orally pronounced: "This will also be concurrent with any other sentence that you're presently under."

¶3However, the written sentence states that it was imposed concurrent with "Specific Sentences (Federal Sentence)" and not concurrent with "Any Active Sentence Being Served." This is a scrivener's error which must be corrected. Accordingly, the order of the postconviction court is reversed and remanded with directions for the court to amend Mr. Butler's sentence to be concurrent with any active sentence being served.

¶4Reversed and remanded with directions.

¶5ALTENBERND, CASANUEVA, and SILBERMAN, JJ., Concur.
