Richards v. State

Richards v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 24, 1990 · Cope, Nesbitt, Schwartz
564 So. 2d 261; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 5265; 1990 WL 102669 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Richards v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the assessment of costs for lack of notice to the defendant and opportunity to be heard on his ability to pay. See Mays v. State, 519 So.2d 618 (Fla. 1988); Jenkins v. State, 444 So.2d 947 (Fla. 1984).

As in Vamper v. State, 562 So.2d 816 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990), we certify the question decided herein as one of great public importance.

We find no merit to the other points raised and thus affirm the defendant’s convictions.
