Opinion

We affirm under the cases holding that a forty-year sentence is not the functional equivalent of a life sentence. Pedroza v. State, 291 So. 3d 541, 549 (Fla. 2020); Moss v. State, 305 So. 3d 730, 731 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020) (holding “a juvenile offender is only entitled to Eighth Amendment relief if he or she is serving a life sentence or the functional equivalent of a life sentence”). Affirmed.
