LABARGA, J., concurring.

I continue to adhere to my dissent in Arbelaez v. State, 48 Fla. L. Weekly S88 (Fla. May 25, 2023), wherein I reaffirmed my dissenting view in Phillips v. State, 299 So. 3d 1013 (Fla. 2020), and CASE NO.: SC2015-1628

CASE NO.: SC2018-0392

Page Two my belief that Hall v. Florida, 572 U.S. 701 (2014), applies retroactively.

However, I agree that Arbelaez has not established a basis for this Court to grant rehearing. Consequently, I have voted to deny rehearing.
