Robert Stanley COOPER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
We affirm this Anders 1 appeal, except regarding two matters, as to four cases in which Appellant pled open to the court. First, investigative costs of $50 payable to the Daytona Beach Shores Police Department were assessed against Appellant in three of the four cases, despite the fact that there was apparently no request for same.2 See Richards v. State, 288 So. 3d 574, 576 (Fla. 2020). We reverse and remand for entry of amended orders that do not include investigative costs. Second, as to Case No. 2022-304672-MM, the court failed to identify what conditions Appellant had violated that led to revocation of probation. See Hollis v. State, 277 So. 3d 1099 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (citing Patt v. State, 876 So. 2d 1278, 1278 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004)). We reverse and remand for entry of an amended order identifying the condition(s) the court found Appellant violated in that case.
We affirm as to all other matters.
AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
