DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED

EDWIN IVAN ROSARIO TORRES, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D19-811 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed April 24, 2020 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Osceola County, Jon B. Morgan, Judge. James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Edward J. Weiss and Roman A. Faizorin, Assistant Public Defenders, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kaylee D.

PER CURIAM.

In this Anders1 appeal, Edwin Ivan Rosario Torres challenges his convictions and sentences imposed after trial for trafficking in twenty-eight grams or more of heroin and 1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

2 conspiracy to traffic in twenty-eight grams or more of heroin. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm without further discussion, but remand for the correction of scrivener’s errors in the judgment regarding the statutory citations for each conviction. See Hope v. State, 239 So. 3d 737, 737 (Fla. 5th DCA 2017) (affirming the appellant’s judgment and sentence but remanding for correction of a scrivener’s error in the judgment regarding the statutory citation for the appellant’s convictions).

On remand, the trial court is directed to enter an amended judgment to show section 893.135(1)(c)1.c., Florida Statutes (2015), as the citation for the trafficking in twenty-eight grams or more of heroin conviction and section 893.135(5), Florida Statutes (2015), as the citation for the conspiracy to traffic in twenty-eight grams or more of heroin conviction.

AFFIRMED; REMANDED for correction of scrivener’s errors.

LAMBERT, EDWARDS, and SASSO, JJ., concur.
