Head Matter:
Johnnie E. HILL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 95-00448.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Feb. 21, 1997.
James Marion Moorman, Pubhc Defender, Bartow, and Michael J.P. Baker, Assistant Pubhc Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Deborah F. Hogge, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Opinion:
THREADGILL, Chief Judge.
Johnnie Hill appeals judgments and sentences for robbery with a firearm and carjacking. He raises three issues on appeal. We find merit only in his claim that a pubhc defender's hen was improperly imposed against him without notice of his right to challenge the amount of the hen, as required by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.720(d)(1). We therefore strike the hen. The trial court may again impose the hen upon proper notice. We affirm the judg ments and sentences in all other respects. We join in the certified question in the concurring opinion.
Affirmed; lien stricken.
