No. 1D2024-1587 _____________________________
KALEB SHEFFIELD,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee. _____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Tiffany M. Baker-Carper, Judge.
November 26, 2025
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Kaleb Sheffield, raises two issues on appeal. We affirm as to the first issue without further discussion. As to the second issue in which Appellant challenges his prison releasee reoffender (“PRR”) sentence because the trial court, not the jury, found that he met the statutory qualifications, we affirm because any error was harmless. See Hicks v. State, 50 Fla. L. Weekly D2238a (Fla. 1st DCA Oct. 15, 2025) (affirming the appellant’s PRR sentence without deciding the impact, if any, of Erlinger v. United States, 602 U.S. 821 (2024), because any error was harmless); Alonso v. State, 415 So. 3d 826, 827 (Fla. 2d DCA 2025) (same); Ashford v. State, 407 So. 3d 537, 537 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025) (same).
AFFIRMED.
