DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
                              FOURTH DISTRICT

                             RICHIE KITTLES,
                                Appellant,

                                      v.

                           STATE OF FLORIDA,
                                Appellee.

                              No. 4D22-2101

                              [March 8, 2023]

   Appeal of order denying rule 3.800 motion from the Circuit Court for
the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Michael I. Rothschild,
Judge; L.T. Case Nos. 17-000467 CF10A and 17-014780 CF10A.

   Richie Kittles, Mayo, pro se.

   Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Anesha Worthy,
Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

   On July 11, 2018, appellant was sentenced in Broward County circuit
court case number 17-467CF10A. In its oral pronouncement, the court
granted credit for time served “from January 11.”

    Appellant later filed a motion for correction of an illegal sentence under
Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), raising a discrepancy between
his oral and written sentences. The trial court granted the motion and
entered an amended written sentence reflecting an award of 181 days of
jail credit. This appeal followed.

   The period from January 11, 2018 to July 11, 2018 represents 182
days. Accordingly, this court ordered the state to file a response and show
cause why the order should not be reversed and remanded for the trial
court to correct the written sentence to conform to the oral pronouncement
and reflect an additional day of jail credit.

   The state’s response concedes error. We therefore reverse the order
granting appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion and remand for the trial court to
correct the written sentence to reflect an award of 182 days of jail credit
in this case.

   Reversed and remanded with instructions.

CIKLIN, GERBER and LEVINE, JJ., concur.

                           *         *        *

   Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
