Fernandez v. State
Opinion
Ricardo Lopez Fernandez appeals his conviction and sentence for second degree murder. We affirm the judgment and sentence in all respects. We strike, however, the imposition of $2,245.00 reflected on the written judgment as costs/fines and orally pronounced as court costs because they were imposed without a statutory basis for assessment. See Barton v. State, 644 So.2d 153 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994); Sutton v. State, 635 So.2d 1032 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). We affirm the imposition of $255.00 in costs which were authorized by statute. On remand, the state may seek to reimpose costs upon proper proof consistent with Sutton.
Affirmed; remanded.
