Opinion

We affirm, without comment, Appellants judgment and ten-year prison sentence after the court found Appellant committed two new law violations and revoked his probation.

We also affirm the courts denial of a downward departure. This Court will not reverse a trial courts decision not to depart downwardly, where there is no argument that the trial court misconstrued its discretion to depart, or had a blanket policy of refusing to exercise its discretion to depart. See Wilson v. State, 306 So. 3d 1267, 1271-73 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020), review granted, SC20-1870, 2021 WL 1157838 (Fla. Mar. 26, 2021); see also Clark v. State, 315 So. 3d 776, 780-81 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021), review granted, SC21-824, 2021 WL 6014963 (Fla. Dec. 21, 2021).

Affirmed.

Per Curiam.
