Ortiz-Lopez v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 21, 2014 · Morris, Casanueva, Khouzam
153 So. 3d 313; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 19105; 2014 WL 6601665 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Ortiz-Lopez v. State

Opinion

MORRIS, Judge.

Samuel Ortiz-Lopez appeals his judgment and sentence for first-degree murder. We conclude that the trial court’s denial of his motion for continuance did not result in a palpable abuse of discretion. See Chavez v. State, 48 So.3d 1022, 1024 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010) (citing M.D.B. v. State, 952 So.2d 590 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007)). Likewise, we conclude that there was no abuse of discretion in the admission of testimony concerning Ortiz-Lopez’s prior possession of a firearm. Cf. Agatheas v. State, 77 So.3d 1232 (Fla. 2011).

Affirmed.
