ANTHONY JEROME BROOKS,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Lake County.
James Baxley, Judge.

Gregg R. Brennan, of Law Offices of Gregg R. Brennan, P.A.,
Weirsdale, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Alyssa M.
Williams, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for
Appellee.

                          April 5, 2024

PER CURIAM.

    In this Anders 1 appeal, we affirm Anthony Brooks’s judgment
and sentence. We remand, however, for the trial court to reimpose

    1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
the portion of the cost of prosecution and the cost of the public
defender that each exceeded $100, either upon Brooks’s agreement
to pay them or upon the submission of competent substantial
evidence to support them. See Icon v. State, 322 So. 3d 117, 119
(Fla. 4th DCA 2021). Courts may only impose an amount higher
than $100 for the cost of prosecution and the cost of the public
defender “upon showing of sufficient proof of higher fees or costs
incurred.” § 938.27(8), Fla. Stat. (2022).

    AFFIRMED and REMANDED with instructions.

SOUD, BOATWRIGHT, and MACIVER, JJ., concur.

                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
