Cynedice Rice, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.
Cynedice Rice appeals the judgment and sentence entered after she was found guilty of one felony and one misdemeanor. Rice argues, and the State concedes, that the Monetary Obligations Order improperly imposes “Additional SAO Costs of Prosecution Fees” of $250. Because the State failed to present any proof showing that it incurred costs greater than $100, we agree with Rice and accept the State's concession. See § 938.27(8), Fla. Stat. (2023); Irizarry v. State, 425 So. 3d 1190, 1190 (Fla. 6th DCA 2026); Golphin v. State, 413 So. 3d 828, 828 (Fla. 6th DCA 2024).
Therefore, we reverse the improper cost imposition of $250 and remand for the trial court to enter a corrected Monetary Obligations Order imposing $100 for state attorney costs of prosecution. Rice's presence is not required for that ministerial correction. See Irizarry, 425 So. 3d at 1190; Golphin, 413 So. 3d at 829. Otherwise, we affirm the judgment and sentence without further discussion.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED with instructions.
