LIZETH ALMENDRA-CANDELARIO v. STATE OF FLORIDA

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that Rule 36 may be used to correct a clerical error (omission of count numbers) but not “to add a period of incarceration that the record does not indicate was previously authorized”
• Rule 36 permitted amendment to add omitted count numbers but not amendment to increase sentence based on district court’s inadvertent failure to impose sentence on omitted counts
• because Rule 36 is a “narrow provision limited to correction of errors of no more than clerical significance,” a correction made pursuant to the rule “can do no more than conform the sentence to the term which the record indicates was intended”
• Rule 36 applies to clerical errors only
