    TEVIN BALDWIN,
    Appellant,
    v.
    STATE OF FLORIDA,
    Appellee.
    _____________________________
    On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
    Ross M. Goodman, Judge.

    PER CURIAM.
    Tevin Baldwin appeals from the judgments and sentences
    imposed after the trial court found that he violated several
    conditions of his probation. We reject Baldwin’s argument that
    there was insufficient evidence to establish that he violated
    condition five of his probation by committing three new drug-
    related offenses. But Baldwin correctly asserts that the State
    failed to establish the remaining violations with evidence other
    than hearsay. See Rodgers v. State, 
    171 So. 3d 236
    , 238 (Fla. 1st
    DCA 2015) (hearsay evidence is admissible in violation of
    probation hearings, but hearsay evidence that is not corroborated
    by non-hearsay evidence is insufficient to establish a violation of
    probation). We nonetheless affirm the revocation of Baldwin’s
    probation and the resulting sentences because it is clear from the
    record that the trial court would have made the same decision
    based solely on its finding that Baldwin committed three new law
    violations.
    We note that the revocation order does not conform to the trial
    court’s oral pronouncement that Baldwin violated condition five of
    his probation on three occasions. We therefore remand this matter
    to the trial court with directions to enter a corrected revocation
    order that conforms to the oral pronouncement on condition five
    and omits the findings that Baldwin violated the other conditions
    of probation.
    AFFIRMED and REMANDED with instructions.
    ROBERTS, RAY, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
