LEGROS v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

John Andrew LEGROS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D19-561

Decided: November 01, 2019

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Edward J. Weiss, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Rebecca Rock McGuigan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

AFFIRMED.

The trial court's decision to impose two public defender application fees is consistent with section 27.52(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2018) (“An applicant shall pay a $50 application fee to the clerk for each application for court-appointed counsel filed.”). However, I would observe that, as an apparent result of a scrivener's error, the amended costs order is inconsistent with both the trial court's oral pronouncement and its written order denying the motion to correct sentencing error. The amended costs order should reflect the imposition of $100 for the public defender application fees.

PER CURIAM.

WALLIS and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur. EVANDER, C.J., concurs, with opinion.
