Jackson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Jackson v. State, 668 So. 2d 1082 (1996)
1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 1926; 1996 WL 86843
Lazzara, Ryder, Whatley
Jackson v. State
Opinion of the Court
Michael Jackson challenges costs assessed as part of his sentence. The state concedes that it failed to present evidence in support of the amount imposed as the cost of extradition, $1,105.00, and that the trial court did not inquire into Jackson’s ability to pay. Accordingly, we strike that cost. See Pickrel v. State, 609 So.2d 65 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992). The court also required Jackson to pay an additional $157.78 in court costs without setting forth statutory authority. We strike those costs as well. Reyes v. State, 655 So.2d 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995) (en banc).
Costs stricken and remanded.
