Stacey Williams, in proper person.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Daniel Colmenares, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Stacey Williams was convicted of first-degree murder and armed robbery. He petitioned the trial court to consolidate his two sentences. The trial court treated the petition as a motion to correct an illegal sentence and denied the motion.

We affirm. See § 921.16(1), Fla. Stat. (2026) (“A defendant convicted of two or more offenses charged in the same indictment, information, or affidavit or in consolidated indictments, informations, or affidavits shall serve the sentences of imprisonment concurrently unless the court directs that two or more of the sentences be served consecutively. Sentences of imprisonment for offenses not charged in the same indictment, information, or affidavit shall be served consecutively unless the court directs that two or more of the sentences be served concurrently.”).

Affirmed.
