Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1983

Tews v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 17, 1983 · Boardman, Scheb, Schoonover

433 So. 2d 35; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 20244 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We find error only in the court’s assessment of costs. Accordingly, we strike the trial court’s assessment of $500 court costs, $20 assessed for the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund, and $2 assessed for the Law Enforcement Officers Training Trust Fund.1 These assessments were improper since appellant had been adjudged insolvent. Cox v. State, 334 So.2d 568 (Fla. 1976); Johnson v. State, 403 So.2d 626 (Fla. *362d DCA 1981). Otherwise, we affirm the judgment and sentence of the trial court.

BOARDMAN, A.C.J., and SCHEB and SCHOONOVER, JJ., concur.

. We previously certified to the supreme court the question of whether costs may be assessed for the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund and Law Enforcement Officers Training Trust Fund against a defendant who has been adjudged insolvent. Brown v. State, 427 So.2d 271 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983).
