FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND
Appellant, DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
v. CASE NO. 1D13-6041
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________/
Opinion filed February 5, 2015.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Kevin A. Blazs, Judge.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and A. Victoria Wiggins, Assistant Public
Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
This appeal is brought under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Having reviewed the record on appeal, we affirm Appellant’s conviction for
aggravated battery while in actual possession of a firearm and the ten-year
mandatory minimum sentence the trial court imposed.
However, the record reveals potential errors in the imposition of costs and
fees, and a discrepancy between the total amount orally announced and the total
reflected in the written judgment and sentence. In order to reverse for sentencing
errors in an Anders appeal, the appellant must have preserved the errors either by
objecting when the sentence was imposed or by filing a motion to correct sentencing
errors. See A.L.B. v. State, 23 So. 3d 190, 191 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009). Appellant did
neither in this case; therefore we must affirm. But we do so without prejudice to his
hereafter filing an appropriate post-conviction motion. See A.L.B., 23 So. 3d at 192
(“Today’s affirmance is without prejudice to appellant’s right to seek relief
collaterally[.]”); Colon v. State, 869 So. 2d 1290, 1290 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004).
