Appeal from the Circuit Court for Flagler County, Terence R. Perkins, Judge.

WALLIS, J.

In this Anders1 appeal, we affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence.

However, we remand for a corrected costs judgment striking the $100 cost of investigation because it was not a part of Appellant's plea and it was not requested by the State. See § 938.27(1), Fla. Stat. (2021); Richards v. State, 288 So. 3d 574, 576 (Fla. 2020).

AFFIRMED and REMANDED with Instructions.

EISNAUGLE and HARRIS, JJ., concur.

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