J AMIE LAIQUAN FRAZIER ,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA ,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Bay County.
Brantley S. Clark, Jr., Judge.
December 3, 2025
P ER C URIAM.
In this Anders∗ appeal, Appellant challenges his judgment
and sentence, entered after the jury found him guilty of trafficking
in 	fentanyl, 	because 	law 	enforcement 	officers 	initially 	used
information relayed to them by a person not recorded or listed by
the Bay County Sheriff’s Office as a confidential informant. 	The
evidence at trial showed that the person was not a “confidential
informant” as defined by section 914.28(2)(b), Florida Statutes
(2023). And even if the statute applied, section 914.28(8) provides,
“any failure to abide by this section may not be relied upon to
∗ Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

2
create any additional right, substantive or procedural, enforceable
at law by a defendant in a criminal proceeding.”
Because our independent review of the record did not reveal
any properly preserved meritorious point which might support
reversal of the judgment or sentence, and no fundamental error
occurred, the judgment and sentence are affirmed. 	See Neal v.
State, 142 So. 3d 883, 887 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014); § 924.051(3), Fla.
Stat.
B ILBREY , KELSEY , and LONG, JJ., concur.

Not 	final 	until 	disposition 	of 	any 	timely 	and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
