IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA CEDRIC TYRONE SMALLWOOD, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED Appellant, v. CASE NO. 1D15-1834 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed November 9, 2016. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Mark Hulsey, III, Judge. Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Barbara J. Busharis, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Michael McDermott, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Appellant raises a number of challenges to his convictions and sentences for robbery with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We find it unnecessary to reach the Confrontation Clause challenge that appellant raises regarding the admission of testimony by a DNA analyst because any error was harmless. We affirm his convictions without further comment. However, we reverse and remand for resentencing consistent with the direction set out in Williams v. State, 186 So. 3d 989, 991 (Fla. 2016). WOLF, LEWIS, and OSTERHAUS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
