Head Matter:
Roderick J. WARD, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 96-3974.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
July 21, 1997.
Robert Augustus Harper and Steven Brian Whittington, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Roderick J. Ward, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Trisha E. Meggs, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the denial of appellant's motion to correct illegal sentence, but direct the trial court to correct a clerical error in the judgment and sentence. Appellant entered a plea of guilty to one count of murder in the first degree, a capital felony pursuant to section 782.04(l)(a), Florida Statutes. The judgment and sentence form, however, incorrectly lists this offense as a life felony. Appellant need not be present for this ministerial correction.
ALLEN, WEBSTER and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
