IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA MARLON D. MCCARTHAN, Appellant, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D11-1415 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed July 3, 2012. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Stewart E. Parsons, Judge. Marlon D. McCarthan, pro se; Jeffrey E. Lewis, General Counsel, and Sheila Callahan, Assistant Conflict Counsel, Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. This is an appeal in which the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). We affirm Appellant s conviction and sentence since no reversible error occurred in this case. However, we strike the one hundred dollar indigent legal assistance lien imposed, since Appellant was not given notice of his right to a hearing to contest the amount of this lien. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.720(d)(1) ( Notice of the accused s right to a hearing to contest the amount of the lien shall be given at the time of sentence. ); Patterson v. State, 686 So. 2d 758, 758 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). Accordingly, we AFFIRM Appellant s conviction and sentence, but we REVERSE and REMAND for a hearing to allow Appellant notice and opportunity to contest the amount of the lien before it may be reimposed. ROWE, MARSTILLER, and SWANSON, JJ., CONCUR. 2
