Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the County Court for Duval County. Robin E. Lanigan, Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Karl Mason appeals his judgment and sentence, alleging error in the trial court’s denial of his motions for judgment of acquittal and mistrial. We affirm on all issues raised except one. Mason points out that after filing a motion to correct sentencing error contesting the imposition of $50.00 investigative costs, the trial court granted the motion but mistakenly struck the $50.00 prosecution fee instead. Based on this scrivener’s error, we remand to have the $50.00 prosecution fee reinstated and the $50.00 investigative cost struck.

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part and REMANDED with instructions.

MAKAR, HARRIS, and BOATWRIGHT, JJ., concur.
