STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County. Clifton Alan Drake, Judge. September 2, 2026 PER CURIAM. AFFIRMED. Shinault v. State, 51 Fla. L. Weekly D1390, 1391 (Fla. 1st DCA July 8, 2026) (finding that a “claim that a jury, not the judge, is required to make a particular finding beyond a reasonable doubt ‘alleges an error in the sentencing process—not an error in the sentencing order itself”’ and therefore may not be raised by motion under rule 3.800(b), and that Erlinger v. United States, 602 U.S. 821 (2024), “does not require a jury to find the fact of Appellant’s prior conviction for purposes of the [violent felony offender of special concern] designation.” (citation omitted)); see also Sanderson v. State, 51 Fla. L. Weekly D966 (Fla. 1st DCA May 13, 2026). OSTERHAUS, C.J., and LEWIS and WINOKUR, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and Joel Daniel Arnold, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
