Lisa Deanna Hodge BRADLEY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Appellant, Lisa Deanna Hodge Bradley, appeals her judgment and sentences for burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and grand theft that the trial court entered after she violated her probation. Appellant argues on appeal that the trial court, in imposing a prison sentence, violated section 948.06(2)(f)1, Florida Statutes, which became effective on October 1, 2019, and which requires trial courts to modify or continue probation if certain conditions are met. We affirm Appellant's judgment and sentences on the basis that she did not preserve for appeal her argument that section 948.06(2)(f)1 applies as long as any, as opposed to all, of the conditions are satisfied. See Harrell v. State, 894 So. 2d 935, 940 (Fla. 2005) (explaining that in order for an argument to be cognizable on appeal, it must be the specific contention asserted as the legal ground for the objection, exception, or motion below). Moreover, even if Appellant had properly preserved the issue for appeal, she would not be entitled to relief because, as we recently held, a defendant must comply with all four conditions set forth in section 948.06(2)(f)1 in order to receive the benefit of the statute. See Owens v. State, 303 So.3d 993 (Fla. 1st DCA Aug. 25, 2020).
Affirmed.
Per Curiam.
