Opinion

MAY, J.

The defendant appeals his conviction and sentence and an order revoking his probation. He raises six issues. We find no merit in the first five issues, but do agree with the defendant and the State that the record fails to contain a written order specifying the basis for the trial court’s revocation of probation.

The record contains only the disposition slip, indicating the defendant willfully violated his probation. This document is insufficient to satisfy the requirement of a written order. Brown v. State, 10 So.3d 1203, 1203 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009) (remanding “for entry of a written order revoking probation and specifying the condition that appellant violated”).

We therefore affirm the revocation, but remand the case to the trial court for entry of a written order revoking probation.

Affirmed, but remanded for entry of a written order revoking probation.

KLINGENSMITH, J., and ROBY, WILLIAM L., Associate Judge, concur.
