Richard Carrero,
Appellant,
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, Richard L. Hersch, Judge.
Richard Carrero, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for appellee.
Before EMAS, C.J., and LOGUE, and MILLER, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant is serving a sentence of life in prison for attempted capital murder
and armed robbery. He committed the offenses on January 6, 1983, when he was
22 years of age. He argues that the holdings of Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48
(2010) and Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012) must be extended beyond
juveniles to young adults like himself. As we have recently, Claude v. State, No.
3D19-1887, 2020 WL 355880, at *1 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020), and as have other courts,
see, e.g, Farmer v. State, 268 So. 3d 1009 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019), Jean-Michel v.
State, 96 So. 3d 1043, 1045 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012), we decline to extend the
holdings of these cases in this manner.
Affirmed.
