Opinion filed October 4, 2017.

 Appeal from the Circuit Court for
 Hillsborough County; Robert A. Bauman,
 Judge.

 Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and
 Carol J. Y. Wilson, Assistant Public
 Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

 Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
 Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

              In this Anders1 appeal, R.L.F. appeals from a disposition order finding that

he committed delinquent acts, withholding adjudication of delinquency, and placing him

on juvenile probation until the age of nineteen with special conditions. We affirm in all

              1
                  Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
respects but note that a possible sentencing error may exist in the actual disposition

order.

              The disposition order reflects that the trial court imposed a total of $200 in

costs and fees, whereas the trial court's oral pronouncement of sentence imposed a

total of $150 in "court costs." See W.S.G. v. State, 32 So. 3d 725, 726 (Fla. 2d DCA

2010) ("If a discrepancy exists between the written sentence and the oral

pronouncement, the written sentence must be corrected to conform to the oral

pronouncement." (quoting Guerra v. State, 927 So. 2d 248, 249 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006))).

However, because R.L.F. failed to preserve this potential error by filing a motion to

correct sentencing error, this court must affirm. See Thomas v. State, 190 So. 3d 222,

223 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016) (affirming without prejudice the defendant's sentence because

even though the written sentence failed to comport with the trial court's oral

pronouncement, the defendant failed to properly preserve the sentencing error). Our

affirmance is without prejudice for R.L.F. to raise this possible sentencing error in an

appropriate postconviction motion. See id.
