March 13, 2024 PER CURIAM.
The lower court correctly denied Appellant’s rule 3.800(b)(2) motion to correct sentencing error. Section 938.27(8), Florida Statutes, requires trial courts to impose no less than $50 for the costs of prosecution in misdemeanor cases and no less than $100 in felony cases. The State need not request imposition of these costs.
AFFIRMED. B.L. THOMAS, ROBERTS, and ROWE, JJ., concur.
