Ward v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 21, 1997 · Allen, Padovano, Webster
696 So. 2d 1317; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 8657; 1997 WL 402516 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Ward v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the denial of appellant’s motion to correct illegal sentence, but direct the trial court to correct a clerical error in the judgment and sentence. Appellant entered a plea of guilty to one count of murder in the first degree, a capital felony pursuant to section 782.04(l)(a), Florida Statutes. The judgment and sentence form, however, incorrectly lists this offense as a life felony. Appellant need not be present for this ministerial correction.

ALLEN, WEBSTER and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
