The judgment and sentence in this case are affirmed except for the assessment of a public defender‘s lien against the defendant. The record does not show that the ‍​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‍defendant was advised of his right to a hearing to contest the amount of the lien as required by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.720(d)(1). See also Bull v. State, 548 ‍​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‍So.2d 1103 (Fla. 1989). Therefore, the public defender‘s lien of $300.00 is stricken, without prejudice to the reimposition of the lien upon remand after compliance with Florida Rule of ‍​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‍Criminal Procedure 3.720(d)(1).
