Opinion

No. 87-02458.

February 21, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; John P. Griffin, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Phil Patterson, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Katherine V. Blanco, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant's first point is without merit. However, we find appellant's second point, dealing with the imposition of $250 costs, well taken. It was error to impose such costs without prior notice. Jenkins v. State, 444 So.2d 947 (Fla. 1984). Accordingly, the $250 cost provision is vacated; otherwise affirmed.

SCHOONOVER, A.C.J., and PARKER and ALTENBERND, JJ., concur.
