Opinion
SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________
Case No. 6D2025-2525 Lower Tribunal No. 1998-CF-003681 _____________________________
JOHNNY L. MARSHALL, JR.,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee. _____________________________
Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Polk County. Catherine L. Combee, Judge.
May 15, 2026
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the trial court’s denial of Appellant’s motion for postconviction
relief because Erlinger v. United States, 602 U.S. 821 (2024), does not apply
retroactively. See, e.g., Wainwright v. State, 411 So. 3d 392, 399 (Fla. 2025)
(“[E]ven if Erlinger constitutes a change of law, it does not apply retroactively.”),
cert. denied, 145 S. Ct. 2789 (2025); Major v. State, 415 So. 3d 880, 880 (Fla. 6th
DCA 2025) (affirming the denial of a motion for postconviction relief because the Florida Supreme Court in Wainright determined that Erlinger “does not apply
retroactively as it is purely procedural in nature”).
AFFIRMED.
NARDELLA, WHITE and PRATT, JJ., concur.
Johnny L. Marshall, Jr., Daytona Beach, pro se.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Marilyn Frances Muir, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF TIMELY FILED
