v.

STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

No. 4D18-1827

[January 6, 2021]

Appeal of order denying rule 3.800 motion from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Daliah H. Weiss, Judge; L.T. Case No. 07CF000089CMB.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Benjamin Eisenberg, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

ON REMAND FROM THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

PER CURIAM.

The Florida Supreme Court quashed this Court’s decision in Seays v. State, 253 So. 3d 21 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018), and remanded for reconsideration and application of Pedroza v. State, 291 So. 3d 541 (Fla. 2020). We affirm. Under Pedroza, Appellant’s concurrent 25-year sentences for non-homicide offenses are not the functional equivalent of a life sentence, and Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48 (2010), is not implicated.

Affirmed.

LEVINE, C.J., MAY, and KLINGENSMITH, JJ., concur.

* * *

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. 2
