________________ No. 3D20-893 Lower Tribunal No. 02-158 ________________

Dennis Hutchins, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee.

An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Jose L. Fernandez, Judge.

Dennis Hutchins, in proper person.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Asad Ali, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before EMAS, C.J., and FERNANDEZ and LINDSEY, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Cotto v. State, 139 So. 3d 283, 289 (Fla. 2014) (holding that the prison releasee reoffender (“PRR”) statute “does not increase the maximum period of incarceration to which a person may be sentenced. Rather, under the PRR statute, only the maximum allowable sentence may be imposed.”) See also Sims v. State, 286 So. 3d 292, 293 (Fla. 4th DCA 2019) (holding that State v. Lewars, 259 So. 3d 793 (Fla. 2018) (which held, that under the PRR statute, “release from a state correctional facility operated by the Department of Corrections or a private vendor” does not include a county jail) did not apply retroactively, and thus defendant’s PRR sentences for robbery and burglary were not illegal); Wilson v. State, 279 So. 3d 756 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019) (same).
