Jared Tavar ANDERSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    CASE NO. 1D15-4867
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Opinion filed June 6, 2017.
    Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and William Pafford, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and David Llanes, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   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).

LEWIS and WETHERELL, JJ., CONCUR.
