Affirmed. See Maye v. State, 51 Fla. L. Weekly S116 (Fla. May 14, 2026) (holding Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) is not the proper vehicle for raising a claim of error under Apprendi and its progeny); Martinez v. State, 211 So. 3d 989, 991 (Fla. 2017) (“We have recognized that few claims raised under rule 3.800(a) come within the illegality contemplated by the rule.”) (quotation omitted).
