IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA ANTHONY KEEL, JR., Appellant, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D11-2633 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed August 15, 2012. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Hon. James C. Hankinson, Judge. Jeffrey E. Lewis, General Counsel, and Sheila Callahan, Assistant Regional Conflict Counsel, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Samuel A. Perrone, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Anthony Keel appeals his conviction and sentence on sixteen counts. We affirm the conviction without further comment. See Keel v. State, No. 1D10-5802 (Fla. 1st DCA Aug. 15, 2012). We affirm the sentence in part, but reverse and remand to correct a sentencing error preserved pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2). The trial court imposed a fine and statutory surcharge as part of a lump-sum oral pronouncement. A trial court errs when it fails to delineate its statutory authority for each discretionary fine or cost imposition, as it denies the defendant the right to be heard. Williams v. State, 845 So. 2d 987, 989 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). The State properly concedes error, and we remand for a new sentencing hearing as to the fines. We affirm the remainder of the sentence. Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed and the sentence is reversed and remanded for a new sentencing hearing regarding the fine and surcharge. AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED for further proceedings. DAVIS, LEWIS, and MAKAR, JJ., CONCUR. 2
