Whiters v. State (533 So. 2d 1210, 1988)

PER CURIAM.

The trial court assessed costs without prior notice or hearing. We reverse the sentence and remand for a hearing so that the trial judge may in his discretion either strike the costs or conduct a hearing to impose costs. Eg. Shipley v. State, 528 So.2d 902 (Fla.1988); Mays v. State, 519 So.2d 618 (Fla.1988); Jenkins v. State, 444 So.2d 947 (Fla.1984); Ivey v. State, 519 So.2d 648 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988).

GLICKSTEIN and WALDEN, JJ., concur.

STONE, J., concurs specially with opinion.

STONE, Judge,

concurring specially.

I note that Jenkins has now been cited in over 300 opinions. Those judges and clerks of this district who have not already done so should insure that a system is established to avoid the continuing assessment of costs, contrary to law, without notice and hearing.
