Demers v. State (468 So. 2d 461, 1985)

LETTS, Judge.

We affirm defendant’s conviction. We recognize that since no judicial determination was made as to the defendant’s ability to pay, the assessment of $15.00 against defendant for the Crimes Compensation Fund was error under Jenkins v. State, 444 So.2d 947 (Fla.1984). However, in order to avoid further expense, no doubt far in excess of $15.00, we merely strike the assessment rather than remand for a full blown hearing.

AFFIRMED.

HERSEY and BARKETT, JJ., concur.
