Opinion filed December 3, 2014.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lee
County; Bruce Kyle, Judge.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender,
and David B. Falstad, Special Assistant
Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, for Appellee.
SILBERMAN, Judge.
Joquinn Anthony Tavarus Benjamin seeks review of his judgment and
sentence for second degree murder while in possession of a firearm. Counsel for
Benjamin filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), and the
State has elected not to file a brief. We affirm but remand for correction of a scrivener's
error in the judgment that erroneously lists a conviction for second degree murder while
discharging a firearm and cites to the corresponding subsection of section 775.087,
Florida Statutes (2011). The jury specifically found that Benjamin had not discharged
the firearm.
Affirmed and remanded.
VILLANTI and CRENSHAW, JJ., Concur.
