_____________________________/

Opinion filed December 16, 2014.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Gadsden County.
Jonathan E. Sjostrom, Judge.

Jeffrey E. Lewis, and Michael J. Titus, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Lauren L. Brudnicki, Assistant Attorney
General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

      We affirm conviction and sentence imposed in lower court case number 08-

781CF (1D12-3788) for violation of probation, and the convictions and sentences

imposed in lower court case number 10-356CF (1D12-3791) for six counts of

fighting or baiting animals. Appellant is collaterally estopped from arguing the
trial court erroneously denied his motion to suppress. He challenged the denial in a

prior case raising the same arguments as raised here, and this Court affirmed the

order per curiam. See Peterson v. State, 118 So. 3d 224 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013); see

also Ziegler v. State, 116 So. 3d 255, 258 (Fla. 2013) (“In Florida, collateral

estoppel prevents the same parties from relitigating issues that have already been

fully litigated and determined.”). In addition, the Order Granting Motion to Cite

Statute and Strike Fine and Surcharges entered July 30, 2013, in lower court case

number 08-781CF remedies the errors in the amended final judgment that

Appellant now seeks to be corrected. Further, the sentence in the amended final

judgment in lower court case number 10-356CF for Count 19 accurately reflects

the sentence the trial judge orally pronounced.

      However, the amended final judgment in lower court case number 10-356CF

imposes a discretionary fine and related surcharge under sections 775.083 and

938.04, Florida Statutes, respectively, which the trial court failed to specifically

announce at sentencing. Accordingly, we strike these costs and remand for the

trial court to enter a corrected judgment. On remand, the court may reimpose the

discretionary fine and surcharge after following the appropriate procedures. See

DeSalvo v. State, 107 So. 3d 1185, 1187 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013); Nix v. State, 84 So.

3d 424, 426 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012).

      AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part, and REMANDED.
