OPINION
WOOD, Chief Judge.
Pursuant to a plea bargain approved by the trial court, defendant pled guilty to possession of cocaine. The bargain provided that the disposition of the case would be “no more severe” than “DEFERRED sentence, and probation as the judge may require (not more than 5 years)”. The judgment of the trial court deferred sentence and placed defendant on unsupervised probation for two and one-half years. “As a condition of probation, he is fined $3,000.” Defendant contends the trial court had no authority to impose a fine as a condition of probation. We agree.
