PER CURIAM.

We affirm the conviction in all respects but remand to correct ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‍sentencing errors. The sentencing orders erroneously reflect that defendant pleaded guilty when, actually, he was convicted after a jury trial. We also agree ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‍with defendant that the assessment of victim costs was not orally pronounced in the open court and is stricken. See Reyes v. State, 655 So.2d ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‍111, 112 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995) (trial court must give defendant notice of discretionary costs being imposed at sentencing in a manner ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‍sufficient for the defendant to know the legal basis for the costs imposed and an opportunity to object to the imposition of those ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‍costs).

*1010CONVICTION AFFIRMED; REMANDED TO CORRECT SENTENCING ERRORS.
