JONES v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Zhonterius Deontervan JONES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D18-1160

Decided: July 23, 2019

Andy Thomas, Public Defender, Lori A. Willner and Steven L. Seliger, Assistant Public Defenders, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Trisha Meggs Pate, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

The appellant appeals the trial court's order imposing restitution in the amount of $3,228.52. We affirm the trial court's finding that it had jurisdiction without comment, but write only to address the appellant's challenge of the amount of restitution ordered.

The appellant claims the trial court's award was not supported by competent, substantial evidence. Given his arguments on this issue and the State's concession of error, we reverse the amount of restitution and remand for a new restitution hearing.

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part, and Remanded.

Per Curiam.

Roberts, Makar, and Kelsey, JJ., concur.
