Sheffield v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 28, 1997 · Cobb, Dauksch, Griffin
688 So. 2d 451; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 1803; 1997 WL 82554 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sheffield v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Yet again we have a case where, as confirmed by his signature in the record, the defendant was fully apprised of the public defender’s lien, and of his right to be heard on the matter. However, this notice was not given, as required by Rule 3.720(d)(1), at the time of sentence and so we are bound to vacate the lien without prejudice to reimpose it upon compliance with the rule.

JUDGMENT AND SENTENCE AFFIRMED; LIEN VACATED.

DAUKSCH, COBB and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
