689 So. 2d 1285 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1997
We affirm Thomas Melvin Bright’s convictions for possession of cocaine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, and uttering a forged instrument.
We reverse the imposition of costs however, without prejudice to the reimposition of statutorily authorized costs after proper notice and hearing, provided that the written order recites citation to statutory authority for any costs imposed. Snyder v. State, 662 So.2d 1033, 1033 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995) (holding that a fee for First Step is not statutorily authorized); Brown v. State, 681 So.2d 834 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996) (holding that it is error to impose a fee without providing notice to the defendant of his right to contest the amount, and error to fail to include in the written order a citation of statutory authority for the fee).
. Bright committed these crimes on August 24, 1995 and November 6, 1995.
