Lougens LOUIS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Affirmed. See § 775.087(2)(a)2., Fla. Stat. (2011) (“Any person who is convicted of a felony or an attempt to commit a felony ․ regardless of whether the use of a weapon is an element of the felony, and during the course of the commission of the felony such person discharged a ‘firearm’ or ‘destructive device’ ․ shall be sentenced to a minimum term of imprisonment of 20 years.”); see also Martinez v. State, 211 So. 3d 989, 991 (Fla. 2017) (affirming appellate court's holding that charging document, which was allegedly defective for not providing sufficient notice of potential punishment of “actual possession of a firearm” as opposed to “carr[ying] a firearm,” did not constitute illegal sentence subject to correction under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a)); Cabrera v. State, 352 So. 3d 512, 514 (Fla. 2d DCA 2022) (“[A] claim that the charging document did not allege the facts necessary to support [the] enhanced sentence is precisely the type of technical deficiency in the sentencing procedure that the supreme court held is not cognizable in a rule 3.800(a) motion.”); Brooks v. State, 969 So. 2d 238, 243 (Fla. 2007) (holding “for motions filed under rule 3.800(a), ․ if the trial court could have imposed the same sentence using a correct scoresheet, any error was harmless”).
PER CURIAM.
