Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed September 16, 2020. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D20-1030 Lower Tribunal No. 83-6848A ________________ Richard Carrero, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Richard L. Hersch, Judge. Richard Carrero, in proper person. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for appellee. Before EMAS, C.J., and LOGUE, and MILLER, JJ. PER CURIAM. Appellant is serving a sentence of life in prison for attempted capital murder and armed robbery. He committed the offenses on January 6, 1983, when he was 22 years of age. He argues that the holdings of Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48 (2010) and Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012) must be extended beyond juveniles to young adults like himself. As we have recently, Claude v. State, No. 3D19-1887, 2020 WL 355880, at *1 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020), and as have other courts, see, e.g, Farmer v. State, 268 So. 3d 1009 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019), Jean-Michel v. State, 96 So. 3d 1043, 1045 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012), we decline to extend the holdings of these cases in this manner. Affirmed. 2
