Opinion

No. 91-0265.

February 26, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Stanton S. Kaplan, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Sarah B. Mayer, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

As the state concedes, the trial court erred in imposing public defender fees without affording appellant proper notice and an opportunity to be heard. See Smiley v. State, 590 So.2d 1116 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991), and Hostzclaw v. State, 561 So.2d 1323 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). Accordingly, we reverse the imposition of such fees and remand but affirm the judgment and sentence in all other respects.

GLICKSTEIN, C.J., and WARNER and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
