FROM THE 108[TH] DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY;

NO. 54,842-E; HON. DOUGLAS R. WOODBURN, PRESIDING __________________________________

Memorandum Opinion __________________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ. Appellant, Michael Gutierrez, appeals the trial court's judgment wherein he was assessed attorney's fees. The State concedes that an assessment of such fees would be improper. We modify the judgment and affirm as modified. The judgment contains the following provision: "The Court ORDERS Defendant to pay all fines, court costs, and restitution as indicated in attached Bill of Cost." Furthermore, the bill of costs includes an amount related to attorney's fees. Given the issue and the State's concession, we modify the judgment and remove all reference to appellant paying any attorney's fees whether or not mentioned in the Bill of Costs. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed, as modified.
