PER CURIAM
Alex Torres appeals from his amended sentence for first-degree murder rendered after he was resentenced pursuant to this court's mandate in Torres v. State, 159 So. 3d 164 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015). We affirm the amended sentence without comment. We note, however, that the sentencing court orally pronounced that the amended murder sentence would run concurrently with Mr. Torres's sentences for several other offenses, but the written amended sentence states that the sentences for those other offenses shall run consecutively to the murder sentence. We therefore remand this matter with instructions for the sentencing court to render amended sentences that conform to its oral pronouncement. See, e.g., Hios v. State, 586 So. 2d 510, 511 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991); Jones v. State, 575 So. 2d 309, 309 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991).
Affirmed; remanded with instructions.
