State, 190 So. 3d 1135, 1135 (Fla.2d DCA 2016) (affirming revocation of probation in Anders appeal butremanding for correction of scrivener's error where revocation order"incorrectly indicates that Mr. Mitchell admitted to violating the terms ofhis probation, where no such admission existed"). Mr. Eskra need not bepresent for the correction. See, e.g., Echavarria v. State, 270 So. 3d 527,528 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019) ("Mr. Echavarria need not be present for thecorrection of the scrivener's errors.").Affirmed; remanded to correct scrivener's error.MORRIS and BLACK, JJ., Concur.__________________________Opinion subject to revision prior to official publication.
