SANDERS v. STATE (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Daryl A. SANDERS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2025-0132

Decided: October 17, 2025

Jonathan Edwin Mills, Orlando, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Alyssa M. Williams, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

In this Anders ¹ appeal, we affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence. However, we remand for the entry of a corrected judgment striking the $100 fee for investigative costs because the State never requested investigative costs. See Richards v. State, 288 So. 3d 574, 577 (Fla. 2020) (“[T]he State must request investigative costs to make a defendant liable for those costs ․”).

Affirmed and Remanded with instructions.
