MATTHEW ANTONIO GLOVER,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County.
Vincent S. Chiu, Judge.
July 17, 2026
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Harrell v. State, 894 So. 2d 935, 940 (Fla. 2005)
(“Moreover, we consistently have stated that proper preservation entails three
components. First, a litigant must make a timely, contemporaneous objection.
Second, the party must state a legal ground for that objection. Third, ‘[i]n order for
an argument to be cognizable on appeal, it must be the specific contention asserted
as legal ground for the objection, exception, or motion below.’” (quoting
Steinhorst v. State, 412 So. 2d 332, 338 (Fla. 1982) (“Except in cases of
fundamental error, an appellate court will not consider an issue unless it was
presented to the lower court.”))); accord Rodriguez v. State, 609 So. 2d 493, 499
(Fla. 1992) (stating that “the specific legal ground upon which a claim is based
must be raised at trial and a claim different than that will not be heard on appeal”).
WOZNIAK, SMITH and MIZE, JJ., concur.
Blair Allen, Public Defender, and Matthew J. Salvia, Assistant Public Defender,
Bartow, for Appellant.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Daniel Caldwell, Assistant
Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
