Sanders v. State, 263 So. 3d 288 (2019)

Feb. 8, 2019 · District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District · Case No. 5D18-1133
263 So. 3d 288

Davion SANDERS, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D18-1133

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Opinion filed February 8, 2019

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Sean Kevin Gravel, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Deborah A. Chance, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Davion Sanders appeals the judgment and sentence entered against him after the trial court found that he violated several conditions of his probation. We affirm in all respects, except for the finding that Sanders violated condition six of his probation. As to condition six, which prohibited Sanders from associating with a person *289known to engage in criminal activity, the State concedes, and we agree, that evidence of a positive drug test did not support a finding that Sanders violated this condition. See Cromartie v. State, 241 So.3d 970, 971 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018). Such error is fundamental. See Odom v. State, 15 So.3d 672, 678 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009). Nevertheless, we find that it is clear from the record that the trial court would have made the same decision to revoke Sanders' probation and sentence him accordingly1 had it properly found that there was no evidence Sanders associated with a person engaged in criminal activity. Id. (citing Reed v. State, 127 So.3d 817, 819-20 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) ).

Accordingly, we affirm Sanders' judgment and sentence but remand with directions that the trial court strike that portion of the order finding a violation of condition six.

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
