Clifton Cinamon v. State of Florida

FIFTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ Case No. 5D2025-3361 LT Case No. 05-2025-CF-019008-A _____________________________ CLIFTON CINAMON, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Brevard County.

Stephen George Henderson, Judge.

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and William E. Partington, III, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kurt T.

Koehler, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

April 24, 2026 PER CURIAM.

We affirm this Anders1 appeal in all respects but remand with instructions to correct a scrivener’s error in the written sentence.

The trial court revoked Appellant’s community control and sentenced him to serve 56.7 months in the Department of

1. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Corrections, but the written sentence incorrectly reflects a prison term of 56.750 months. Because a “court’s oral pronouncement controls over the written sentence,” we remand for the court to correct the scrivener’s error in the written sentence. Bennett v. State, 418 So. 3d 813, 813 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025); see Walker v. State, 393 So. 3d 274, 275 (Fla. 5th DCA 2024) (“It is well-settled law that the oral pronouncement of the sentence controls over a written order or sentence that differs.”); Crenshaw v. State, 338 So. 3d 425, (Fla. 5th DCA 2022) (affirming Anders appeal but remanding to correct a scrivener’s error imposing a ten-year minimum- mandatory sentence, which conflicted with the oral pronouncement of three years). Correction of this error is a ministerial act, so Appellant need not be present. See Crenshaw, So. 3d at 425.

AFFIRMED and REMANDED for entry of a corrected order.

WALLIS, KILBANE, and MACIVER, JJ., concur.
