J.S. v. State
J.S. v. State
Opinion of the Court
In an Anders
The trial court withheld adjudication, placed J.S. on probation, and assessed court costs of $50 and $20 under section 775.083(2), Florida Statutes (2006). These costs may only be assessed when the juvenile is adjudicated delinquent. See C.M.S. v. State, 997 So.2d 520, 521 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008); T.L.S. v. State, 949 So.2d 290, 291-92 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007). Here, adjudication was withheld. Also, J.S. was charged with a single felony count. Even if J.S. had been adjudicated delinquent, the $20 cost could not be imposed because it is applicable only to offenses other than felonies. See § 775.083(2). Accordingly, we affirm the disposition, but we remand the case to the trial court with instructions to strike the imposed costs of $50 and $20.
Affirmed; remanded with instructions to strike costs.
