Judge.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, for Appellee.
ALTENBERND, Judge.
Andres Rodriguez-Aguilar appeals his judgment for felon in possession of
a firearm and the resulting sentence of ten years' imprisonment with a three-year
minimum mandatory term. This is a companion case to Rodriguez-Aguilar v. State, No.
2D14-1719 (Fla. 2d DCA Mar. 9, 2016), which addresses a sentence on violation of
probation as a result of this same conduct. In this appeal, Mr. Rodriguez-Aguilar's
attorney has filed an Anders 1 brief. We reverse and remand for the correction of a
scrivener's error in the written judgment.
In December 2013, police observed Mr. Rodriguez-Aguilar enter and
briefly operate a vehicle that had been reported stolen. A police officer arrested Mr.
Rodriguez-Aguilar and discovered a loaded firearm in his pants pocket during a search
incident to the arrest. The State filed a two-count information against Mr. Rodriguez-
Aguilar, charging felon in possession of a firearm as count I, see § 790.23(1), Fla. Stat.
(2013), and carrying a concealed firearm as count II, see § 790.01(2). By agreement,
the two counts were severed and the State tried count I first. Following a guilty verdict
on that count, the State announced a nolle prosequi of count II. The trial court orally
sentenced Mr. Rodriguez-Aguilar on count I to ten years in prison with a three-year
minimum mandatory term, to run consecutively to the term of imprisonment the court
had already imposed for the violation of probation in case number 2D14-1719.
The written judgment oddly contains descriptions of three counts rather
than one. It has a line drawn through a third count, which is an additional count for felon
in possession of a firearm that was not charged in the information. The written
judgment erroneously shows convictions for both counts I and II of the information. We
reverse this judgment as to the improper conviction for count II. On remand, the trial
court shall enter a proper judgment. The written sentence was a correct sentence; it
was limited to count I. The trial court does not need to resentence the defendant on
remand. Finally, we cannot determine from the record whether the mandated change in
1Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967).

the judgment will affect the cost judgment. On remand, the trial court shall confirm the
accuracy of the imposed costs.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
