Opinion
No. 87-01736.
September 26, 1990.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Charlotte County; Elmer O. Friday, Judge.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Andrea Norgard, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Charles Corces, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
We hold that the trial judge erred in imposing costs without affording the appellant his due process rights of notice and an opportunity to be heard. Wood v. State, 544 So.2d 1004 (Fla. 1989). The other issues presented by the appellant are without merit.
Accordingly, we strike the imposition of costs without prejudice to the state to seek reimposition after proper notice.
LEHAN, A.C.J., and FRANK and PATTERSON, JJ., concur.
