Antonio Hodgson appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 alleging numerous claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Because we find that Hodgsons claims were either conclusively refuted by the record, presented meritless issues, or were previously adjudicated on direct appeal, we affirm the trial courts well-reasoned order. See McLin v. State, 827 So. 2d 948, 954 (Fla. 2002) (“To uphold the trial courts summary denial of claims raised in a 3.850 motion, the claims must be either facially invalid or conclusively refuted by the record.”); Lukehart v. State, 70 So. 3d 503, 512 (Fla. 2011) (“[C]ounsel cannot be deemed ineffective for failing to make a meritless argument.” quoting Schoenwetter v. State, 46 So. 3d 535, 546 (Fla. 2010)).
We further affirm Hodgsons resentencing. Any comments by the trial court regarding the factors for sentencing a juvenile offender to a life sentence were harmless because Hodgson was neither sentenced to life imprisonment nor a term of years equal to life imprisonment. § 921.1401(2), Fla. Stat. (2019) (enumerating factors for “determining whether life imprisonment or a term of years equal to life imprisonment is an appropriate sentence” in a case involving a juvenile offender).
Affirmed.
