CARL RAY SONGER, APPELLANT,
v.
CITRUS COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPELLEE
ORFINGER, Judge.
Contrary to appellant’s assertion, there is nothing in sections 27.53, 925.035 or 925.-036, Florida Statutes (1983) which authorizes the imposition of attorney’s fees on a county for the representation of a criminal defendant in post-conviction collateral proceedings. Therefore the trial court was correct when it declined to assess attorney’s fees and expenses against Citrus County for the work done by appellant’s attorney in filing a motion to vacate the imposition of the death penalty and in appealing the denial of that motion. The order denying assessment of fees against Citrus County is therefore
AFFIRMED.
