Carpenter v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Apr 15, 1987
507 So. 2d 616 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987)

Opinion

No. 85-2615.

March 11, 1987. Rehearing Denied April 15, 1987.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Barry J. Stone, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Amy Lynn Diem, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm appellant's conviction and reject appellant's contention that the trial court failed to follow the procedures set out in Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1971). We agree with appellant that the trial court erred in taxing costs under section 27.3455(1), Florida Statutes (1985) since we have previously held that the application of that statute to crimes committed prior to its enactment constitutes a violation of the ex post facto clause of the United States Constitution. See Signorelli v. State, 491 So.2d 349 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986). We reject appellant's claim that the court's imposition of 100 hours of community service per month for her five years of probation is unreasonable per se. See Fillastre v. State, 387 So.2d 400 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980).

DOWNEY, ANSTEAD and GUNTHER, JJ., concur.
