Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 27, 1996 · Frank, Schoonover, Whatley
670 So. 2d 1111; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 3266; 1996 WL 135498 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Johnson v. State

Opinion of the Court

WHATLEY, Judge.

Johnson appeals the trial court’s denial of her motion to suppress and the imposition of a fine for the Hillsborough County Court Improvement Fund. We affirm the denial of her motion to suppress without discussion, and we strike the fine.

The trial court imposed a $15.00 fine for the Hillsborough County Court Improvement Fund as a condition of Johnson’s probation. *1112In Reyes v. State, 655 So.2d 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995), this court found that such fine is not authorized under any statute as a cost or a fine. Consequently, we strike this fine. See Brown v. State, 20 Fla. L. Weekly D2397, — So.2d -(Fla. 2d DCA Oct. 25, 1995).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and sentence, and we strike the above mentioned fine.

SCHOONOVER, A.C.J., and FRANK, J., concur.
