Before LOGUE, MILLER and BOKOR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
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.
