Joshua Broughton,
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, Jose L. Fernandez, Judge.
Joshua Broughton, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and David Llanes, Assistant Attorney
General, for appellee.
Before SCALES, MILLER, and GORDO, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Monroe v. State, 201 So. 3d 70, 71 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015) (“[A]
defendant cannot properly [establish the imposition of a habitual offender sentence
was illegal] under rule 3.800(a) where he fails to affirmatively allege that the
predicate prior convictions do not exist as a matter of law.”) (citations omitted); see
also Malone v. State, 225 So. 3d 335 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (As “the error was a
scrivener’s error, not judicial error, which when corrected will not affect the
defendant’s sentence . . . , the judgment may be corrected without conducting a new
sentencing hearing.”); Rolling v. State, 215 So. 3d 70 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016) (The
“failure to object to a technical deficiency in the charging document prior to the
jury’s verdict constitutes a waiver.”) (citations omitted); Delgado v. State, 43 So. 3d
132, 134-35 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (finding information that stated the “defendant
possessed a firearm” and cited to section 775.087, Florida Statutes, was sufficient to
allow for enhancement of actual possession of a firearm).
