IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED JOHN ANDREW LEGROS, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D19-561 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Decision filed November 1, 2019 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Citrus County, Richard A. Howard, Judge. James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Edward J. Weiss, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Rebecca Rock McGuigan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. AFFIRMED. WALLIS and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur. EVANDER, C.J., concurs, with opinion. Case No. 5D19-561 EVANDER, C.J., concurring. The trial court’s decision to impose two public defender application fees is consistent with section 27.52(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2018) (“An applicant shall pay a $50 application fee to the clerk for each application for court-appointed counsel filed.”). However, I would observe that, as an apparent result of a scrivener’s error, the amended costs order is inconsistent with both the trial court’s oral pronouncement and its written order denying the motion to correct sentencing error. The amended costs order should reflect the imposition of $100 for the public defender application fees. 2
