JOANOS, Judge.

Appellant, Marshall Aldridge, seeks reversal of his convictions for the offenses of first-degree murder, armed robbery, ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‍and attempted first-degree felony murder. We find no impropriety with respect to the first issue raised, and affirm the convictions and sentences imposed without discussion. The second issue concerns a scrivener’s error ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‍on the count three sentencing document. At sentencing on the count three conviction of attempted first-degree felony murder, the trial court orally imposed a life sentence, to be served consecutively to the life ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‍sentence imposed on the count one capital offense. The court recognized the life sentence constituted a departure from the recommended guideline sentence, and provided- an appropriate written reason for the departure. However, ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‍the count three sentencing document for attempted first degree felony murder erroneously classifies the count three conviction as a “capital offense.”

Accordingly, this cause is remanded with directions to correct the sentencing document ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‍for count three. In all other respects, the convictions and sentences are affirmed.

BOOTH and LAWRENCE, JJ., concur.
