KUNTZ, J.

   Ramon Rosario appeals the circuit court’s denial of his Florida Rule of
Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) motion to correct an unauthorized
sentence. The State properly concedes error, and we remand for a
correction of Rosario’s sentence.

   This Court previously affirmed Rosario’s sentence. Rosario v. State, 122
So. 3d 412 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013). The Florida Supreme Court quashed our
decision and “remanded for resentencing in conformance with the
framework established in chapter 2014-220, Laws of Florida, which has
been codified in sections 775.082, 921.1401, and 921.1402 of the Florida
Statutes.” Rosario v. State, 41 Fla. L. Weekly S113, 2016 WL 235776, at
*1 (Fla. Jan. 20, 2016).

   On remand, the State and Rosario’s counsel appeared at a hearing and
agreed, in part, to a proposed sentence on fifteen charges. The court
sentenced Rosario to twenty-five years’ imprisonment, with ten-year
mandatory minimum terms, on two conspiracy charges. The sentences
and mandatory minimum terms were to run concurrently. Later, the court
entered a supplementary sentencing order providing that the sentence for
certain of Rosario’s charges were subject to review after twenty years but
excluded the home-invasion conspiracy charges from review.

    After Rosario filed his notice of appeal, he moved the circuit court to
“modify his concurrent twenty-five (25) year sentences for first-degree
felonies to include judicial review pursuant to sections 775.082(3)(c) and
921.1402(2)(d).” The circuit court granted the motion and entered an
order correcting the supplementary sentencing order:

         The Defendant was sentenced to 25 years in the Florida State
         Prison on Counts 1,2,7,8, and 12. The 10 year Firearm
         mandatory minimum continues to apply to Counts 7, 8, and
         12. Pursuant to Kelsey v. State, 206 So. 3d 5[] (Fla. 2016) the
         Defendant shall be entitled to judicial review of these
         sentences after 20 years regarding counts 1,2,7,8, and 12.

   Rosario’s counsel then filed in this Court an Anders 1 brief and a motion
to withdraw as counsel, arguing that an “examination of the record on
appeal reveals no error which could be conscientiously argued as a
predicate for relief.” We ordered Rosario’s counsel to “file a supplemental
brief addressing why [Rosario] does not have an arguable claim that the
ten-year mandatory minimum terms imposed for conspiracy to commit
home invasion robbery with a firearm (counts VII and XII) are improper.”

     In response to our order, Rosario’s counsel filed a supplemental brief
agreeing the sentence was improper but stating Rosario waived the
argument. We struck the Anders brief and the supplemental brief because
“[i]t is not clear from this record that the mandatory minimum terms were
imposed as part of a negotiated plea agreement. Cf. Stewart v. State, 192
So. 3d 572 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016); Tucker v. State, 174 So. 3d 485, 487-88
(Fla. 4th DCA 2015); Haynes v. State, 106 So. 3d 481, 482 (Fla. 5th DCA
2013).”

   After we struck the brief, Rosario filed a second motion to correct his
sentence in the circuit court. The circuit court ordered the State to
respond to Rosario’s motion, but the State failed to do so. Ultimately, the
motion was deemed denied because the circuit court failed to rule within
sixty days. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(b)(2)(B).



1   Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

                                                 2
   After the circuit court denied the second motion to correct, Rosario
returned to this Court and now argues “[t]he ten-year mandatory
minimum terms imposed for conspiracy to commit home invasion robbery
with a firearm (counts VII and XII) must be stricken from [his] sentence
because they are not statutorily authorized.” The State concedes that the
ten-year mandatory minimum terms of Rosario’s sentence are illegal. See,
e.g., Tooley v. State, 675 So. 2d 984, 985 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996); White v.
State, 657 So. 2d 1223, 1223 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995); Kennedy v. State, 564
So. 2d 1127, 1129–30 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990).

   As a result of the State’s proper concession of error, we remand for a
ministerial sentence correction—to strike the ten-year mandatory
minimum terms imposed on Counts VII and XII of Rosario’s sentence.
Resentencing is not required, and Rosario need not be present for this
sentence correction. See, e.g., Flores v. State, 58 So. 3d 437, 438 (Fla. 4th
DCA 2011).

   Reversed and remanded.
