On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Steven B. Whittington, Judge.
August 1, 2019
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Kline v. State, 44 Fla. L. Weekly D1471a (Fla.
1st DCA June 7, 2019) (holding that where it is unclear whether
the trial court used the correct standard to deny a motion for new
trial, “the potential that the trial court erred does not reach the
level of fundamental error”).
RAY, C.J., and ROWE, J., concur; OSTERHAUS, J., dissents with
opinion.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
_____________________________
OSTERHAUS, J., dissenting.
I would reverse and remand for further consideration. See
Palmer v. State, 196 So. 3d 1289 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016).
