On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.

P ER C URIAM.
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.
