February 14, 2024 PER CURIAM.
Appellant challenges his judgment and sentence for felony battery and assault, arguing that prosecutorial comments during closing argument were improper. No objection was made to any of these comments at trial, but our review does not indicate that the comments were improper or rose to the level of requiring reversal.
Appellant also challenges the imposition of a $100 cost of prosecution under section 938.27(8) of the Florida Statutes. On the facts presented, this cost was imposed properly. See Parks v. State, 371 So. 3d 392, 393–94 (Fla. 1st DCA 2023).
AFFIRMED.
