Opinion filed December 9, 2016.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk
County; Reinaldo Ojeda, Judge.

Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender,
and Terrence E. Kehoe, Special
Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for
Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Wendy Buffington,
Assistant Attorney General, Tampa,
for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

              Dante Rashad Morris appeals his judgments and sentences for attempted

felony murder and attempted armed robbery. We affirm Mr. Morris's judgments without

comment. We also affirm his sentences, but we remand his case for the trial court to

enter a correct order on the costs Mr. Morris is required to pay.
              Pursuant to a motion to correct sentencing error, see Fla. R. Crim. P.

3.800(b), the trial court entered an order directing that the cost of prosecution was

limited to $100 and that any Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC) supervision

costs should be stricken because Mr. Morris was not placed on supervision. However,

as Mr. Morris argues, and the State correctly concedes, the amended costs order that

was subsequently filed still obligates him to pay $100 for the "Additional" cost of

prosecution and to pay the FDOC costs.

              In denying Mr. Morris' rule 3.800(b) motion, the trial court also rejected Mr.

Morris' argument that pursuant to Henry v. State, 175 So. 3d 675 (Fla. 2015), cert.

denied, 136 S. Ct. 1455 (2016), he was entitled to resentencing under the framework

established by chapter 2014-220, Laws of Florida. We affirm that aspect of the trial

court's order on the authority of this court's decision in Williams v. State, 197 So. 3d 569

(Fla. 2d DCA 2016). But see Peterson v. State, 193 So. 3d 1034 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016).

              Judgments and sentences affirmed; remanded for trial court to file

corrected cost order.
