BATES v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Robert BATES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D17-3368

Decided: February 20, 2019

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Mara C. Herbert, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Ashley B. Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Heidi L. Bettendorf, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Appellant challenges the imposition of $ 100 in prosecution costs and $ 50 in investigative costs not requested by the State, which the trial court granted in addition to the $ 3758 in costs that the State did request. The State concedes error. We thus reverse the award of costs with directions to reduce the sum by $ 150.

Per Curiam.

Warner, Ciklin and Levine, JJ., concur.
