State of Florida, Appellee.

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

Roberto Martinez, in proper person.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and David Llanes, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before MILLER, LOBREE, and BOKOR, JJ.

PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See Ratliff v. State, 914 So. 2d 938, 940 (Fla. 2005) (“[T]he

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. See State v. Wershow, 343

So. 2d 605 (Fla. 1977). There is nothing indefinite about such a sentence.”).
