Head Matter:
Robert GIBSON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 88-185.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Oct. 25, 1988.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Bruce A. Rosenthal, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Ralph Barreira, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appel-lee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUBBART and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Rejecting the appellant's sole point on the merits, we find that the warrantless search of his person which yielded the cocaine with which he was charged was properly based on probable cause. Hence, the conviction is affirmed.
As the state agrees, however, costs were improperly imposed and the award is reversed on the authority of Jenkins v. State, 444 So.2d 947 (Fla.1984) and Mays v. State, 519 So.2d 618 (Fla.1988).
