Opinion:
ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM, Judge.
We affirm the trial court's revocation of John Schaufler's probation and the sentences imposed upon revocation without further comment. We note, however, that although the trial court recognized at the March 2017 revocation hearing that it should not re-adjudicate Schaufler guilty of the original offenses because it had already adjudicated him guilty of those offenses in May 2005 when originally imposing probation, see Butler v. State, 195 So.3d 1147, 1148 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016) ("Duplicative adjudications of guilt after revocation of probation or community control are superfluous, are unauthorized, and can cause undue confusion in future proceedings."), the record on appeal nevertheless includes a second written judgment adjudicating him guilty of the original offenses. This judgment, which was signed the same day as the revocation hearing and accompanies the written sentences imposed following revocation of his probation, was entered in error. See id. at 1148-49 ("[T]he circuit court only enters a judgment on a violation of probation in those instances when it withheld an adjudication of guilt, i.e., withheld judgment, at the time it originally imposed probation." (quoting Jackson v. State, 56 So.3d 65, 67 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011) (Altenbernd, J., concurring) ) ). Accordingly, we affirm the revocation of Schaufler's probation and the ensuing sentences but remand for vacatur of the March 2017 written judgment adjudicating Schaufler guilty a second time.
Affirmed in part; remanded with instructions.
