Opinion filed September 23, 2022

Appeal from the County Court
for Osceola County,
Gabrielle Sanders-Morency, Judge.

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and
Glendon George Gordon, Jr., Assistant
Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for
Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Richard A. Pallas, Jr.,
Assistant Attorney General, Daytona
Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.
      In this Anders1 appeal, we affirm Michelle Santiago Haskins’ judgment

and sentence. We remand, however, for the trial court to identify the authority

for the $271 in court costs it imposed during sentencing. See Cash v. State,

286 So. 3d 384, 385 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (“The law is well settled that trial

courts lack the authority to impose costs and fines in criminal cases unless

such imposition is specifically authorized by statute and the statutory authority

is cited in the defendant’s written disposition order.” (quoting J.S. v. State,

920 So. 2d 752, 753 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006))).

      AFFIRMED and REMANDED.

SASSO, TRAVER and NARDELLA, JJ., concur.

          Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
