No. 96-01704 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | Feb 25, 1998

PER CURIAM.

Henry Louis Peterson challenges his conviction for second-degree murder and the imposition of a public defender lien. We affirm Peterson’s conviction and sentence without discussion. However, Peterson correctly argues that he was not given notice of his right to a hearing to contest the amount of the public defender lien.. See Drinnon v. State, 598 So. 2d 229" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." date_filed="1992-05-08" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/drinnon-v-state-1858908?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="1858908">598 So.2d 229 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992). On remand, Peterson should have 30 days from the date of the mandate to file a written objection to the fee assessed., If an objection is filed, the assessment should be stricken, and a new assessment may be imposed in accordance with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.720(d)(1). See Bourque v. State, 595 So. 2d 222" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." date_filed="1992-02-28" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/bourque-v-state-1769334?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="1769334">595 So.2d 222 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992).
