Opinion of the Court
WHATLEY, Judge.

WHATLEY, Judge.

The appellant, Chesterfield Drakes, challenges his judgment and sentence for aggravated battery. We find merit only in his contention that the trial court erred in imposing a cost of $2.00 pursuant to section 943.25(13), Florida Statutes (1993), without announcing that cost at sentencing. That cost was a discretionary cost, which required notice and an opportunity to be heard. Reyes v. State, 655 So. 2d 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995); Priest v. State, 20 Fla. L. Weekly 84, — So. 2d-(Fla. 2d DCA Dec. 28, 1994); Sutton v. State, 635 So. 2d 1032 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). Since Drakes was not given notice and an opportunity to be heard as to that cost, the $2.00 imposed pursuant to section 943.25(13) is hereby stricken. Drakes’ judgment and sentence is otherwise affirmed.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and PARKER, J., concur.
