CORDERO CALLAHAN v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Patrick Michael CORDERO-CALLAHAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D18-2285

Decided: July 17, 2019

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Logan T. Mohs, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Rachael Kaiman, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

Patrick Michael Cordero-Callahan appeals his order of probation, specifically, a special condition therein that he must pay costs “in equal monthly payments.” He correctly argues that because this condition was neither orally pronounced at his sentencing hearing nor is found in any applicable statute or rule, it was error for the trial court to include it as a condition in the written probation order. See State v. Hart, 668 So. 2d 589, 592 (Fla. 1996). The state properly concedes that this was error.

Accordingly, we remand for the trial court to correct the provisions of the probation order that require “equal monthly payments.”

Reversed and remanded.

Per Curiam.

May, Damoorgian and Ciklin, JJ., concur.
