PER CURIAM.

   We affirm without discussion appellant’s withheld adjudication of
delinquency and delinquency disposition for violation of probation.
However, we remand for the trial court to correct the written order to reflect
the trial court’s oral pronouncement of disposition. At the violation of
probation hearing, the trial court’s oral pronouncement was that it would
withhold adjudication. However, it appears that due to a scrivener’s error,
the trial court’s disposition indicates that “the child is adjudicated
delinquent.”     In criminal proceedings, where a trial court’s oral
pronouncement is unambiguous, the oral pronouncement controls over
the written order. See Briggs v. State, 936 So. 2d 789 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006).

   Affirmed and remanded for correction of written order.

WARNER, MAY and CONNER, JJ., concur.
                      *        *        *

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
