NIX v. STATE (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Eldon Eugene NIX, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D2024-0724

Decided: February 12, 2025

Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and Tyler Kemper Payne, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Damaris Reynolds, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Affirmed. See Noetzel v. State, 328 So. 3d 933, 949 (Fla. 2021) (holding that “[b]ecause competent, substantial evidence supports the trial court's finding that Noetzel's waiver of the right to counsel was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent under Faretta, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting Noetzel's request for self-representation”).

Per Curiam.

Kelsey, Nordby, and Long, JJ., concur.
