February 6, 2026 PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. See Harvard v. State, 414 So. 2d 1032, 1034 (Fla. 1982) (“[T]rial judges are routinely made aware of information which may not be properly considered in determining a cause. Our judicial system is dependent upon the ability of trial judges to disregard improper information and to adhere to the requirements of the law in deciding a case or in imposing a sentence.”); Wyrich v. State, 370 So. 3d 1000, 1004 (Fla. 2d DCA 2023) (“However, the mere fact that a sentencing judge hears improper information related to uncharged conduct during a sentencing hearing does not necessarily warrant reversal.” (citing Serrano v. State, 279 So. 3d 296, 302 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (“[T]here must be some indication that the court based its sentence on an impermissible factor before this Court will reverse.”)).
