Doe v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 15, 2011 · Villanti, Whatley, Wallace
67 So. 3d 350; 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 11078; 2011 WL 2732582 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Doe v. State

Opinion

VILLANTI, Judge.

In this Anders 1 appeal with preserved sentencing issues, 2 Doe seeks review of his convictions and sentences for five counts of attempted robbery with a firearm. We affirm Doe’s convictions and sentences without further comment. However, we remand for the trial court to strike one duplicative cost.

The record shows that the trial court twice imposed the Indigent Criminal Defense Fee pursuant to section 27.52, Florida Statutes (2009) — once in the amount of $50 in the final judgment and sentence that was rendered January 21, 2009, and amended on June 15, 2010, and again in the amount of $40 in a separate “judgment for fine and costs” that was rendered on January 26, 2009. This fee is assessed per application for counsel, see § 27.52(l)(b) *351 (imposing the fee “for each application for court-appointed counsel”), and nothing in the record shows that Doe submitted more than one application for court-appointed counsel. Accordingly, we remand with directions to the court to strike as duplica-tive the separate “judgment for fine and costs” pursuant to section 27.52 in the amount of $40 rendered January 26, 2009.

Affirmed and remanded with directions.
