                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D18-3309
                 _____________________________

DAVID EDWARD ANDERSON,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Angela M. Cox, Judge.

                         October 11, 2019

PER CURIAM.

     Appellant was convicted of possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon and sentenced to prison. On appeal he alleges the
trial court erred by failing to find he was competent to proceed and
in imposing sentence. We reject Appellant’s arguments and affirm
the judgment and sentence. However, we remand for the trial court
to enter a written order consistent with its oral finding that
Appellant was competent to proceed. See Mullens v. State, 197 So.
3d 16 (Fla. 2016) (remanding for entry of written order of
competency where trial court made an oral competency finding but
failed to enter a written order as required by statute); McCray v.
State, 265 So. 3d 659, 662 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (upholding finding
of competency, but remanding for entry of written order).
    AFFIRMED and REMANDED with directions.

WOLF and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., and DUNCAN, J. SCOTT, ASSOCIATE
JUDGE, concur.

               _____________________________

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