PER CURIAM.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Brevard County, Tesha Ballou, Judge.

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and Glendon G. Gordon, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Whitney Brown Hartless, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

In this Anders ¹ appeal, we affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence. However, we remand for the trial court to strike the cost assessed pursuant to section 318.18(11)(b), Florida Statutes (2020), as Appellant was not convicted of an offense to which this fee applies. See Sorenson v. State, 291 So.3d 630, 630 (Fla. 5th DCA 2020).

1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED with instructions.

EISNAUGLE, SASSO, and WOZNIAK, JJ., concur.
