Joseph Calandra (Defendant) appeals the denial of his rule 3.800(a) motion. We affirm.

For a first degree murder committed in 1992, Defendant was sentenced to prison “For a term of Natural Life without possibility of parole for 25 years.” He filed a rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence, which the trial court denied, claiming the foregoing sentence was illegal and asking instead to be resentenced to “life in prison with twenty five years minimum mandatory with the possibility of parole.” However, that sentence is functionally the same as his current sentence. After Defendant has served twenty-five years, he will become eligible for parole. See § 775.082(1), Fla. Stat. (1991) (providing that “[a] person who has been convicted of a capital felony shall be punished by life imprisonment and shall be required to serve no less than 25 years before becoming eligible for parole”). 1 Therefore, no correction is necessary.

Affirmed.
