App. 2d 133, 456 P.3d 1199 (2020) (where defendant is indigent and record demonstrates court’s intent to waive non-mandatory financial obligations, boilerplate financial obligations should be stricken). We accept the concession of error and remand with directions to strike the supervision fee from the judgment and sentence.
