Opinion filed November 18, 2022

Appeal from the Circuit Court
for Osceola County,
Mikaela Nix-Walker, Judge.

Robert David Malove, of The Law
Office of Robert David Malove, P.A.,
Fort Lauderdale, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Kaylee D. Tatman,
Assistant Attorney General, Daytona
Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

                        ON CONFESSION OF ERROR
       Hunter Anthony Black appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion

to correct sentence under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b).

Based on the State’s proper confession of error and our independent review,

we reverse with directions to the trial court to reinstate Black’s initial sentence.

The trial court violated Black’s rights against double jeopardy when, on its

own initiative, it enhanced his sentence sixty days after imposing it. See

Ashley v. State, 850 So. 2d 1265, 1267 (Fla. 2003); Shepard v. State, 940

So. 2d 545, 548 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006). Black’s presence is not required for

this ministerial act.

       REVERSED and REMANDED with INSTRUCTIONS.

SASSO, TRAVER and NARDELLA, JJ., concur.

                                         2
