James v. State

James v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 1, 1998 · Polen, Stevenson, Taylor
718 So. 2d 365; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 12314; 1998 WL 670391 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

James v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Eugene James timely appeals from an order revoking his probation following his arrest for trespassing. We affirm the order on the first two grounds stated by the court. We reverse, however, that part of the order finding as a ground for revocation that James failed to pay required supervision and court costs. As the state properly concedes, his failure to pay these costs was not an appropriate ground to revoke his probation because the trial court did not find specifically that he had the financial ability to pay. See Allen v. State, 662 So.2d 380, 381 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995).

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.

POLEN, STEVENSON and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
