Opinion
No. 90-01890.
February 1, 1991.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Highlands County; Richard G. Prince, Acting Circuit Judge.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Deborah K. Brueckheimer, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and William I. Munsey, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
We affirm appellant's sentence imposed pursuant to the habitual felony offender statute, section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1989). The statute, as amended in 1988, see ch. 88-131, § 6, Laws of Fla., no longer requires the trial court to specifically find that an enhanced sentence is necessary for the protection of the public. See Proctor v. State, 570 So.2d 425 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990).
We strike the imposition of court costs and attorney's fees without prejudice to the state to seek reimposition after proper notice and opportunity to be heard.
CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and LEHAN and THREADGILL, JJ., concur.
