WOLF, J.
Appellant raises two issues on appeal. We find only one issue has merit; we
agree with appellant that the trial court erred when it failed to enter a written order
adjudicating appellant competent to proceed before allowing appellant to represent
himself in a bench trial. Therefore, we AFFIRM appellant’s judgment and
sentence, but REMAND for the trial court to enter a written order of competency
nunc pro tunc. Mullens v. State, 197 So. 3d 16, 37 (Fla. 2016).
