Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Terry Antonio Carter, was charged with one count of battery and one count of false imprisonment. After his motion for judgment of acquittal was denied, the jury returned guilty verdicts as to both counts. The trial court adjudicated him guilty on both counts and imposed legal sentences. However, when it imposed $809 in costs in the order regarding community control, the trial court failed to include statutory citations for each cost, despite the legal requirement to do so. See V.D. v. State, 922 So. 2d 1037, 1038 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006) (citing Miller v. State, 912 So. 2d 1282 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005)).

Accordingly, having considered the Anders brief and finding only the error regarding costs, we affirm the judgment and sentence, but remand for entry of an amended order of community control to include appropriate statutory citations for the authority to impose each item of cost. AFFIRMED; REMANDED FOR ENTRY OF AMENDED ORDER. LAMBERT, C.J., EDWARDS and JAY, JJ., concur.
