Having found no reversible error apparent on the face of therecord, we affirm this Anders* appeal. In particular, we concludethat competent, substantial evidence supported the trial court’s

2determination that Appellant willfully and substantially violatedconditions of his probation, see Knight v. State, 187 So. 3d 307, 310(Fla. 5th DCA 2016), and the trial court did not err in revokingAppellant’s probation and sentencing him to fifteen years inprison. However, we remand for the trial court to correct itswritten “Order Revoking Probation.” At the conclusion of theviolation of probation hearing, the court found that Appellant hadviolated condition five and special condition sixteen but had notviolated condition two and special condition six. The written order,however, stated that Appellant violated all four conditions. Theoral pronouncement controls, and we will remand for the trialcourt to conform the written order to its oral pronouncement. SeeHardy v. State, 301 So. 3d 1127, 1127 (Fla. 5th DCA 2020).AFFIRMED; REMANDED with instructions.LAMBERT and HARRIS, JJ., concur._____________________________Not final until disposition of any timely andauthorized motion under Fla.
