PER CURIAM.

In this appeal proceeding under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), we affirm the judgment and sentence imposed by the trial court following Appellant’s open, guilty plea to the charged offense. However, we remand with directions to the trial court to enter an amended sentencing order to include the orally pronounced three-year minimum mandatory sentence. See Flowers v. State, 395 So. 3d 1077 (Fla. 5th DCA 2024); Youngblood v. State, 410 So. 3d 598 (Fla. 5th DCA 2024); Williams v. State, 50 Fla. L. Weekly D1636 (Fla. 5th DCA Jul. 25, 2025) (distinguishing scrivener’s errors from legal errors, and concluding “the sua sponte correction of errors harmful to the government in an Anders case is strictly limited to scrivener’s errors”).

AFFIRMED, REMANDED with directions.

SOUD, BOATWRIGHT, and MACIVER, JJ., concur.
