LEWIS v. STATE (2024)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Reggie Deshawn LEWIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D2022-3719

Decided: August 21, 2024

Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and Kathleen Pafford, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Virginia Chester Harris, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Reggie Deshawn Lewis was convicted after a jury trial of third-degree murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison. On appeal, he raises two issues. As to the challenge to the denial of his motion for judgment of acquittal, we affirm without further discussion. As to his argument that the trial court failed to properly address his request for a downward departure sentence, we dismiss pursuant to Wilson v. State, 306 So. 3d 1267 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020), rev. granted, No. SC20-1870, 2021 WL 1157838 (Fla. Mar. 26, 2021).

Affirmed in part; Dismissed in part.

Per Curiam.

B.L. Thomas, Ray, and Kelsey, JJ., concur.
