Walker v. State
Walker v. State
Opinion of the Court
In Kendrick Jermaine Walker’s appeal of the revocation of his youthful offender probation and resulting sentences in five circuit court cases, defense counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). This court struck the Anders brief and directed the parties to address three issues.
First, the trial court erred in failing to continue Walker’s youthful offender designation upon the revocation of his probation. Once a trial court imposes a youthful offender sentence, the court must continue that status upon resentencing for
Second, Walker did not enter a plea to grand theft in case numbers 06-CF-21423 and 06-CF-22456. Therefore, the grand theft convictions and sentences in those two cases must be stricken from the written judgments and sentences.
Third, the written order revoking Walker’s probation states that Walker was found in violation of conditions 1 and 6. However, at the conclusion of the probation revocation hearing, the trial court found Walker in violation of condition 8 of his probation, and that finding is supported by the evidence. Thus, we reverse the revocation order and remand for the trial court to enter a corrected order reflecting that Walker violated condition 8 of his probation.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
. Before filing the merits brief, defense counsel filed a motion to correct sentencing errors pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2). The motion is deemed denied because the trial court failed to rule on the motion within sixty days. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(b)(1)(B), (b)(2)(B).
