PER CURIAM.

Cordero Blair appeals from an order denying his pro se motion for post-

and remand with directions to the trial court to amend Blair’s sentence to reflect

his youthful offender status. See Jacques v. State, 95 So. 3d 419, 420-21 (Fla. 3d

DCA 2012); Yegge v. State, 186 So. 3d 553, 555-56 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015). Blair

need not be present.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part and remanded with directions.
