DAVID JEROME BROWN v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2024)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

DAVID JEROME BROWN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

No. 4D2023-2886

Decided: November 06, 2024

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Devin Johnson, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sorraya M. Solages-Jones, Senior Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

In this Anders appeal, defense counsel properly concedes no issue of arguable merit exists.¹ We specifically note that any argument that the trial court's assessment of prosecution costs was improper also lacks merit. See Icon v. State, 322 So. 3d 117, 119 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021) (explaining that assessment of prosecution costs pursuant to section 938.27, Florida Statutes, need not be supported by evidence if the defendant affirmatively agrees to pay the requested amount); Watts v. State, 973 So. 2d 1271, 1273 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008) (concluding that stipulation to payment of specific amount of costs pursuant to section 938.27, Florida Statutes, waives entitlement to any further hearing on such costs).

Affirmed.
