KELVIN LAMAR DUNN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. 1st District. Criminal law -- Probation -- Condition -- Error to impose condition that defendant pay public defender's lien without advising defendant of right to hearing to contest amount

KELVIN LAMAR DUNN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. 1st District. Case No. 96-2581. Opinion filed September 16, 1997. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Judge L. Ralph Smith. Counsel: Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Raymond Dix, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and James W. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

(PER CURIAM.) Because he was not advised of his right to a hearing to contest the amount, we strike the appellant's condition of probation that he pay a public defender lien of $500. The condition may be reimposed upon compliance with section 27.56, Florida Statutes, and Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.720(d).

The appellant's judgment and sentences are otherwise affirmed. (MINER, ALLEN and MICKLE, JJ., CONCUR.)
