CERDA v. STATE

No. 95-00789.

679 So.2d 1276 (1996)

Jesus Jimenez CERDA, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

September 20, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Douglas Chanco, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Johnny T. Salgado, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The appellant, Jesus Jimenez Cerda, challenges his conviction and sentence for second-degree murder, and he raises several issues on appeal. We find merit only in his contention that the trial court erred in assessing a public defender lien.

A public defender lien was improperly imposed on Cerda without giving Cerda notice of his right to a hearing to contest the amount of the lien. See Drinnon v. State, 598 So.2d 229
