Michael Delano SCOTT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 94-02440.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    June 14, 1995.
    James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and John S. Lynch, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Anne Y. Swing, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
   WHATLEY, Judge.

The appellant, Michael Delano Scott, challenges his judgment and sentence for robbery with a firearm. We find merit only in his contention that the trial court erred in imposing a cost of $2.00 pursuant to section 943.25(13), Florida Statutes (1993), without announcing that cost at sentencing. That cost was a discretionary cost, which required notice and an opportunity to be heard. Reyes v. State, 655 So.2d 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995); Priest v. State, 20 Fla.L.Weekly 84, — So.2d-(Fla. 2d DCA Dec. 28, 1994); Sutton v. State, 635 So.2d 1032 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). Since Scott was not given notice and an opportunity to be heard as to that cost, the $2.00 imposed pursuant to section 943.25(13) is hereby stricken. Scott’s judgment and sentence is otherwise affirmed.
