Kevin B. Weiss, Judge.
August 14, 2026
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Tillman v. State, 471 So. 2d 32, 35 (Fla. 1985) (“In order
to be preserved for further review by a higher court, an issue must be presented to
the lower court and the specific legal argument or ground to be argued on appeal or
review must be part of that presentation if it is to be considered preserved.”);
United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 923 (1984) (“Finally, depending on the
circumstances of the particular case, a warrant may be so facially deficient—i.e., in
failing to particularize the place to be searched or the things to be seized—that the
executing officers cannot reasonably presume it to be valid.”).
WOZNIAK, MIZE and PRATT, JJ., concur.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Richard A. Pallas, Jr., and
Rebecca Rock McGuigan, Assistant Attorneys General, Daytona Beach, for
Appellant.
Blair Allen, Public Defender, and Ronald N. Toward, Assistant Public Defender,
Bartow, for Appellee.
