Opinion
No. 95-03135.
May 10, 1996.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County; Nelly N. Khouzam, Judge.
Robert E. Jagger, Public Defender, and Dwight Wolfe, Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Helene S. Parnes, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.
Lisa Marion appeals a fine imposed after she began serving her term of probation. Because it constitutes an impermissible increase in an otherwise legal sentence, we strike the fine. See Coll v. State, 629 So.2d 1056 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993) (holding that a court may not increase a legal sentence after it has begun).
SCHOONOVER, A.C.J., and BLUE and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
