Cartel Demarcus Granison, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

In this Anders ¹ appeal, after careful review of the record, we affirm Appellant's convictions and sentences on all counts and in all respects, except as to the $50.00 cost of prosecution for the misdemeanor count imposed in the written judgment.

The trial court imposed the minimum per case cost of prosecution in the amount of $50.00 for the misdemeanor count and $100.00 for the felony counts. See § 938.27(8), Fla. Stat. (2024). Section 938.27(8) states that the minimum cost is set per case based on whether a misdemeanor or a felony has been charged. Notably, the minimum costs are “per case,” not per charge. The State did not request the cost of prosecution, and the trial court did not pronounce this cost.

Accordingly, Appellant's judgment and sentence are affirmed, and the assessment of $100.00 as the cost of prosecution because there was a felony charge in the case is affirmed. The additional assessment of $50.00 as the cost of prosecution for the misdemeanor count is reversed, and the matter is remanded for entry of an amended judgment.

AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; and REMANDED for entry of an amended judgment.
