Hinkle v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Dec 20, 1985
480 So. 2d 206 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1985)

Opinion

No. 84-2216.

December 20, 1985.

Appeal from the District Court, Hillsborough County, J. Rogers Padgett, J.

J. Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and L.S. Alperstein, Asst. Public Defender, Clearwater, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Davis G. Anderson, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


Defendant James Earl Hinkle was convicted of first degree murder of one victim, attempted first degree murder of another, and armed burglary. We find no merit to his argument on appeal; however, we remand for correction of an error in the written sentencing order.

At the sentencing hearing, the trial judge stated that the sentences for attempted first degree murder and armed burglary were to be served concurrent with each other, but consecutive to the sentence for first degree murder. Yet, the written order reflects that all of the sentences are to be served concurrently.

A court's written order of judgment and sentence must not vary from its oral pronouncement. Therefore, we remand this case to the trial court for correction of the written sentences. A.R. v. State, 475 So.2d 308 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985); Jackson v. State, 445 So.2d 407 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984). Otherwise, we affirm the defendant's convictions and sentences.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and DANAHY and CAMPBELL, JJ., concur.
