1Opinion of the Court
ANNUNZIATA, Judge.
Thomas Matthew Ziats was sentenced to 10 years incarceration for statutory burglary and larceny. The trial court suspended the entire sentence subject to supervised probation and good behavior. Ziats was subsequently convicted of shoplifting. The court, upon considering the probation violation, revoked Ziats’s suspended sentence by order dated June 18, 2001. A subsequent amended sentencing order was entered on June 7, 2002. Ziats contends the trial court did not have jurisdiction to enter the amended order on June 7, 2002. We agree and reverse the decision of the trial court.
