(“It is clear in the case law of this state that double jeopardy challenges to

convictions are not cognizable under [Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure]

3.800(a).”); Ramirez v. State, 47 Fla. L. Weekly D1823, D1824 (Fla. 3d DCA

Aug. 31, 2022) (“A motion to correct illegal sentence under rule 3.800(a) is

not cognizable where, as here, the defendant seeks to challenge the validity

of the conviction and, only by extension, the ‘legality’ of the resulting

sentence.”); Kingry v. State, 28 So. 3d 173, 174 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (“Having

freely and voluntarily entered into [a plea] agreement and accepted its

benefits, appellant may not now seek to be relieved of one of the burdens

imposed upon him pursuant to the agreement.”).
