Opinion of the Court
LETTS, Judge.
We affirm defendant’s conviction. We recognize that since no judicial determination was made as to the defendant’s ability to pay, the assessment of $15.00 against defendant for the Crimes Compensation Fund was error under Jenkins v. State, 444 So. 2d 947 (Fla.1984). However, in order to avoid further expense, no doubt far in excess of $15.00, we merely strike the assessment rather than remand for a full blown hearing.
AFFIRMED.

Because of the disparity between the amount of the assessment and the cost to the State of attempting to recover it, we agree with the policy followed by the Fourth District and strike the assessment. Demers v. State, 468 So. 2d 461 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985). In all other respects the judgment and sentence are affirmed. RYDER, C.J., and LEHAN, J., concur.…
