Joe Pat ROWLAND, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
*813 Michael E. Allen, Public Defender, and Phil Patterson, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and John M. Koenig, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
BARFIELD, Judge.
Appellant pled nolo contendere to one count of possession of a controlled substance, specifically reserving his right to challenge the trial court's order denying his motion to suppress the cocaine seized in a warrantless search of his truck. We find that the stop and search was reasonable, and we affirm the order denying the motion to suppress.
Appellant also challenges the order placing him on probation, asserting first that the court failed to comply with due process requirements in imposing certain monetary costs. The state concedes this issue. We reverse and remand with directions that the trial court afford appellant notice and opportunity to object to the imposition of the costs. Shipley v. State,
Appellant contends next that, at the sentencing hearing, the trial court pronounced that he should "be gainfully employed for at least thirty hours per week." However, condition 7 of the written order only required appellant to "work diligently at a lawful occupation." He asserts that the condition must be modified to read: "Maintain full-time gainful employment of not less than thirty (30) hours per week or actively seek gainful employment." The state concedes this issue. Upon remand, we direct the trial court to conform its oral pronouncement requiring gainful employment of 30 hours per week with the written order setting forth the conditions of probation.
The next issue concerns condition 14 of the probation order, which provides: "You will receive alcohol, drug and psychological evaluation and counseling as directed by your probation officer." Appellant argues that the trial court impermissibly delegated to the probation officer the exclusive authority to require that appellant attend the treatment and counseling, citing Holterhaus v. State,
Appellant's reliance on Holterhaus is misplaced. While only the court can impose conditions of probation, it may delegate the normal supervision of those conditions to the probation officer. Draper v. State,
Appellant suggests that section 948.03(6), Florida Statutes (1987), provides the *814 proper method for ordering diagnosis and treatment of offenders thought to need mental health services. Appellant misreads section 948.03(6), which applies solely to probationers or offenders in community control who have committed certain pedophilic offenses. The statute requires that, once a court makes a determination that treatment is necessary, it shall order outpatient counseling as a term or condition of the probation or community control. Section 948.03 enumerates a non-exhaustive list of specific kinds of terms and conditions of probation or community control that a court may impose. While alcohol, drug and psychological evaluation and counseling is not specifically included in the list, section 948.03(7) provides that the court may add other terms and conditions as it considers proper.
Appellant also attacks on appeal the condition requiring him to submit to psychological evaluation and counseling. He contends that the condition should be stricken because it does not conform with the trial court's oral pronouncement at disposition, which only referred to the alcohol and drug evaluation and counseling. The state responds that the written condition did conform with the court's oral pronouncement that appellant submit to "counseling" as well as alcohol and drug "evaluation." We disagree with the state's interpretation of the oral pronouncement. A trial court's oral pronouncement controls over its written order. Timmons v. State,
Appellant's final argument is that the condition 13, requiring submission to urinalysis testing, and condition 6, prohibiting use of intoxicants in excess, must be stricken from the probation order because they were not reasonably related to the offense for which appellant was placed on probation; nor were they imposed for the protection of the public or for appellant's rehabilitation. However, appellant failed to object to either condition at the sentencing hearing. The failure to object to a condition of probation constitutes acceptance of that condition. See Posey v. State,
In any event, the state argues that the conditions are reasonable and the probation order does not require that appellant completely refrain from drinking alcohol. We agree with the state. The conditions are reasonably related to the conviction for possession of a controlled substance. See Smith v. State,
Accordingly, we AFFIRM the order denying appellant's motion to suppress, but we REVERSE the order placing appellant on probation and REMAND with instructions that the trial court give appellant notice and opportunity to object to the imposition of court costs and that the court conform its written order of probation to its oral pronouncement made at the disposition hearing.
SHIVERS, C.J., and ZEHMER, J., concur.
