vs.

The 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.

Julita Deparias, in proper person.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, for appellee.

Before LOGUE, C.J., and SCALES and LOBREE, JJ.

PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See Ratliff v. State, 914 So. 2d 938, 940 (Fla. 2005) (“It is

abundantly clear that the Legislature, by prescribing a sentence of life

imprisonment, intends that the defendant remain in prison for the rest of his

life. The term ‘life’ is sufficiently definite so that it can be understood and

applied. There is nothing indefinite about such a sentence.” (internal citation

omitted)).
