Kaleb Sheffield, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Kaleb Sheffield, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D2024-1587

Decided: November 26, 2025

Ryan Edward McFarland of Kent & McFarland, Jacksonville, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Christina Piotrowski, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Appellant, Kaleb Sheffield, raises two issues on appeal. We affirm as to the first issue without further discussion. As to the second issue in which Appellant challenges his prison releasee reoffender (“PRR”) sentence because the trial court, not the jury, found that he met the statutory qualifications, we affirm because any error was harmless. See Hicks v. State, 50 Fla. L. Weekly D2238a (Fla. 1st DCA Oct. 15, 2025) (affirming the appellant's PRR sentence without deciding the impact, if any, of Erlinger v. United States, 602 U.S. 821 (2024), because any error was harmless); Alonso v. State, 415 So. 3d 826, 827 (Fla. 2d DCA 2025) (same); Ashford v. State, 407 So. 3d 537, 537 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025) (same).

Affirmed.

Per Curiam.
