Narrative Opinion Summary
Robert Columbie appeals his conviction and sentence for grand theft of an automobile. The court affirms the conviction without further comment but agrees to remand the case to address issues related to the costs imposed. After his conviction, Columbie filed a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) to strike a $300 public defender fee and additional prosecution costs, which the State conceded were incorrectly imposed. Although the trial court granted the motion, it failed to issue an amended order to correct the costs, and the Clerk of Court's website still showed the erroneous costs. The court instructs the trial court to issue an amended order correcting the costs and to direct the Clerk of Court to update its records accordingly. The ruling is affirmed and remanded with specific instructions. Judges GROSS, KLINGENSMITH, and KUNTZ concur. The decision is not final until any timely filed motion for rehearing is resolved.
