________________ No. 3D25-0830 Lower Tribunal No. F91-30238A ________________

Glenn Richardson, 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, Zachary N. James, Judge.

Glenn Richardson, in proper person.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Lourdes B. Fernandez, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before LOGUE, MILLER and GOODEN, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Ford v. State, 402 So. 3d 973, 981 (Fla. 2025) (“Erlinger[ v. United States, 602 U.S. 821 (2024)] was a direct-appeal case—not a postconviction case like Ford's—and it involved required jury findings regarding an element. Based on these fundamental distinctions, it is clear that Erlinger provides no support for vacating Ford’s death sentences.”); Tanzi v. State, 407 So. 3d 385, 394–95 (Fla. 2025) (finding postconviction review of defendant’s sentence based on Erlinger was improper); Lewis v. State, No. 3D25-0396, 2025 WL 1819465, at *1 (Fla. 3d DCA July 2, 2025) (same).
