Opinion

No. 97-3750

August 5, 1998.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Howard C. Berman, Judge; L.T. No. 97-5002CF A02.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Cherry Grant, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm appellant's conviction for the attempted purchase of cocaine. We also affirm the assessment of public defender fees on the authority of Hyden v. State, 715 So.2d 960 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998). However, we remand this cause for the trial court to correct the judgment of conviction so that it shows that appellant was convicted after a jury trial and not based on a plea of guilty.

AFFIRMED.

DELL, SHAHOOD and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
