JOHN MARSHALL,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Robert E. Long, Jr., Judge.

                         August 8, 2019

PER CURIAM.

    Appellant, John Marshall, appeals the trial court’s failure to
render a written order finding him competent to proceed after
pronouncing Appellant competent to proceed at the conclusion of
his competency hearing. 1 The State properly concedes error.

    We therefore reverse and remand for the trial court to render
a written order adjudicating Appellant competent to proceed,
nunc pro tunc, consistent with its oral findings. See Merriell v.
State, 169 So. 3d 1287, 1289 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).

    REVERSED and REMANDED.

ORFINGER, EDWARDS, and EISNAUGLE, Associate Judges, concur.

                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.

for Appellant

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Quentin
Humphrey, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for
Appellee.

    1 Appellant does not argue that the trial court failed to make
an independent competency determination.
