Before SHEPHERD, C.J., and LAGOA and SCALES, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

Calvin Watkins v. State Case No. 3D13-2336

SHEPHERD, C.J., concurring specially.

I concur in affirming the trial court’s revocation of Watkins’ probation and the sentences imposed. However, because the trial court failed to enter a written order of revocation, I would remand for entry of an order setting forth the reasons for revoking probation, in accordance with the trial court’s oral pronouncements. See Thomas v. State, No. 3D13-1794 (Fla. 3d DCA March 11, 2015); Brown v. State, 127 So. 3d 831 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013).
