PER CURIAM.
In this appeal proceeding under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), we affirm the judgment and sentence imposed by the trial court following Appellant’s open, guilty plea to the charged offense. However, we remand with directions to the trial court to enter an amended judgment to correct a clerical error in the written sentence to show that Appellant was awarded 199 days of jail credit. See Ashley v. State, 850 So. 2d 1265, 1268 (Fla. 2003) (“Thus, when conflict arises between the written sentence and the [trial court’s] oral pronouncement, the oral pronouncement prevails.”).
AFFIRMED, REMANDED with directions.
MAKAR, LAMBERT, and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
