Lemuel Alvarez timely appeals his conviction by jury verdict for one count of aggravated battery with a firearm,1 also challenging the trial judge’s denial of his 3.800(b)(2) motion to correct sentencing *970errors, which addressed several cost issues. As the State concedes, the $20 assessment imposed pursuant to the “Crime Stoppers Trust Fund”2 and an inapplicable $3 traffic violation cost were improperly imposed at sentencing. Additionally, the State acknowledges that the written court costs/fee order contains a $1 mathematical error that needs to be corrected. On remand, these items shall be corrected by entry of an amended order. No other issue merits discussion.
AFFIRMED; REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS TO ENTER AMENDED COURT COST/FEE ORDER.
