Jerrie M. Baist, Appellant,

vs.

State of Florida, Appellee.

An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Christine Hernandez, Judge.

Jerrie M. Baist, in proper person.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, for appellee.

Before GORDO, BOKOR and GOODEN, JJ.

PER CURIAM. As the Florida Supreme Court, this court, and numerous courts of this

state have held, a sentence of life imprisonment is “sufficiently definite so

that it can be understood and applied.” Ratliff v. State, 914 So. 2d 938, 940

(Fla. 2005); see also Holmes v. State, 245 So. 3d 857, 858 (Fla. 3d DCA

2018) (applying Ratliff in affirming a life sentence).

Affirmed.
