Johnny L. MARSHALL, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
We affirm the trial court's denial of Appellant's motion for postconviction relief because Erlinger v. United States, 602 U.S. 821, 144 S.Ct. 1840, 219 L.Ed.2d 451 (2024), does not apply retroactively. See, e.g., Wainwright v. State, 411 So. 3d 392, 399 (Fla. 2025) (“[E]ven if Erlinger constitutes a change of law, it does not apply retroactively.”), cert. denied, ––– U.S. ––––, 145 S. Ct. 2789, 222 L.Ed.2d 1084 (2025); Major v. State, 415 So. 3d 880, 880 (Fla. 6th DCA 2025) (affirming the denial of a motion for postconviction relief because the Florida Supreme Court in Wainwright determined that Erlinger “does not apply retroactively as it is purely procedural in nature”).
AFFIRMED.
PER CURIAM.
NARDELLA, WHITE and PRATT, JJ., concur.
