FRANK TURKALY, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 1993-03-05
No. 92-683
W. SHARP and GRIFFIN, JJ. and COWART, Judge, Retired, concur.
615 So. 2d 222 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (1993) Positive Treatment
Cited by 16 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

In the order placing the defendant on probation in case number 91-1190, we strike special condition number fourteen in the order imposing a $100 “State Attorney’s Fee”. A “State Attorney’s Fee” is not “investigative costs incurred by law enforcement agencies” which is authorized by section 939.01(1), Florida Statutes, as a cost of prosecution, but is an award of attorney’s fees for which there is no statutory or rule authorization. Smith v. State, 606 So. 2d 501 (Fla. 5th DCA1992); Smith v. State, 606 So. 2d 427 (Fla. 1st DCA1992); see also Smith v. State, 614 So. 2d 525, n. 3 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993).

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.

W. SHARP and GRIFFIN, JJ. and COWART, Judge, Retired, concur.
