    Opinion filed August 4, 2017.
    Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pasco
    County; Susan G. Barthle, Judge.
    Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and
    Pamela H. Izakowitz, Assistant Public
    Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and
    Kiersten E. Jensen, Assistant Attorney
    General, Tampa, for Appellee.
    LaROSE, Chief Judge.
    Tyrone Devlin, Jr., appeals his judgment and sentences following the
    jury's return of guilty verdicts for burglary (count 1) and petit theft (count 2). We have
    jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.140(b)(1)(A), (F). We affirm Mr. Devlin's judgment
    and sentences but remand for correction of several scrivener's errors pertaining to
    count 2.
    Despite being found guilty on count 2 of the lesser included offense of
    misdemeanor petit theft, the judgment incorrectly reflects that Mr. Devlin was convicted
    in count 2 of the charged offense of grand theft, a third-degree felony. See Samudio v.
    State, 
    460 So. 2d 418
    , 419 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984) ("[T]he court's judgment must conform
    to the jury's verdict." (citing Hicks v. State, 
    411 So. 2d 1025
    (Fla. 2d DCA 1982))).
    Further, although the sentencing transcript reflects that the trial court imposed a time-
    served disposition on count 2, the written sentence indicates that he received a ten-year
    prison term. See §§ 775.082(4)(a) (authorizing a term of imprisonment not exceeding
    one year for a first-degree misdemeanor); 812.014(2)(e), Fla. Stat. (2015).
    Consequently, remand is required to ensure that the written sentence comports with the
    trial court's oral pronouncement. See Rivera v. State, 
    117 So. 3d 449
    , 449 (Fla. 2d
    DCA 2013) ("Because the written sentences do not comport with the trial court's oral
    pronouncement, we must remand for correction of the written sentences to reflect the
    oral pronouncement.").
    Because correction of these scrivener's errors is a ministerial act, Mr.
    Devlin's presence is not required. See Wolcoff v. State, 
    197 So. 3d 111
    , 112 (Fla. 1st
    DCA 2016).
    Affirmed; remanded to correct scrivener's errors.
