Hopkins v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 13, 1997 · Farmer, Pariente, Warner
697 So. 2d 1009; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 9294; 1997 WL 461150 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hopkins v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the conviction in all respects but remand to correct sentencing errors. The sentencing orders erroneously reflect that defendant pleaded guilty when, actually, he was convicted after a jury trial. We also agree with defendant that the assessment of victim costs was not orally pronounced in the open court and is stricken. See Reyes v. State, 655 So.2d 111, 112 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995) (trial court must give defendant notice of discretionary costs being imposed at sentencing in a manner sufficient for the defendant to know the legal basis for the costs imposed and an opportunity to object to the imposition of those costs).

*1010CONVICTION AFFIRMED; REMANDED TO CORRECT SENTENCING ERRORS.

WARNER, FARMER and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
