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.

HERSEY and BARKETT, JJ., concur.
