PER CURIAM.
We have for review Thomas v. State, 725 So.2d 1148 (Fla.2d DCA 1998), on the basis of direct and express conflict. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. We recently resolved this conflict in Maddox v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000). Thomas contends that fundamental error occurred when the trial court orally found that he had violated one condition of his probation, but the written order revoking probation stated that he had violated an additional seven conditions of probation. The district court characterized this as a "scrivener's error" that did not constitute fundamental error correctable on direct appeal absent preservation. See Thomas, 725 So.2d at 1148. We concluded in Maddox that although this is a patent error, because the error has no quantitative effect on the sentence, it is not so serious that it should be corrected on appeal as fundamental error. 25 Fla. L. Weekly at S371. We therefore approve the decision of the Second District.
It is clear that the defendant or the State may seek to correct a scrivener's error by filing a motion to correct sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b). See Amendments to Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.111(e) 3.800 Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.020(h), 9.140, 9.600, 24 Fla. L. Weekly S530 (Fla. Nov. 12, 1999), reh'g granted, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S37 (Fla. Jan. 13, 2000). In this case, the error was not preserved for appellate review.
It is so ordered.
