JUDGMENT

This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in the trial court’s bill of costs. We modify the bill of costs to (1) delete the

$500 fine; (2) delete the $15 time-payment fee without prejudice to future assessment;

and (3) include a statement that the assessed costs and fees are not payable by Brian

Alton Pippin until his release from confinement, in accordance with the language in

the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that, subject to these modifications to the bill

of costs, the judgment is affirmed.
