Garcia v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 19, 1993 · Altenbernd, Hall, Threadgill
627 So. 2d 74; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 11644; 1993 WL 477639 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Garcia v. State

Opinion of the Court

HALL, Acting Chief Judge.

The appellant, Manuel Garcia, challenges his conviction for first-degree murder. While we find no merit in the substantive issues he raises on this appeal, we do find that, pursuant to section 90.6063, Florida Statutes (1991), the interpreter he used at trial was entitled to compensation for translation services rendered in that proceeding. We therefore remand the instant case to the trial court to afford Garcia an opportunity to file a proper written motion for interpreter fees.

Accordingly, Garcia’s judgment and sentence are otherwise affirmed.

THREADGILL and ALTENBERND, JJ., concur.
