PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. See Avalos v. State, 419 So. 3d 299 (Fla. 6th DCA 2025)

(“[Avalos] argues his sentence . . . is unconstitutional under the United States Supreme Court’s recent decision in Erlinger v. United States, 602 U.S. 821 (2024). We affirm without deciding Erlinger’s impact . . . because, even assuming Erlinger applies, any error in this case is harmless.”). NARDELLA, WOZNIAK and BROWNLEE, JJ., concur.

Blair Allen, Public Defender, and Kimberly Nolen Hopkins, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Alicia M. Winterkorn, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.
