WALKER v. STATE (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Benjamin Christopher WALKER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2025-0568

Decided: January 23, 2026

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and Teresa D. Sutton, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Stephen R. Putnam, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

We affirm this Anders ¹ appeal of Appellant, Benjamin Christopher Walker's, judgment and sentence imposed following the jury trial in which he was found guilty of trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, and possession of drug paraphernalia. We affirm in all regards, except that we remand to the trial court for entry of an amended cost order to correct a scrivener's error by removing the $100 charge for the public defender application fee, and replacing it with a charge of $50 for the public defender application fee, as the trial court correctly ruled when it granted Appellant's Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) motion.

Affirmed, Remanded with instructions.
