ON REMAND FROM THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
Per Curiam.
We previously reversed Appellant's sentences and convictions as to three of his twelve convictions: lewd and lascivious battery and two lewd and lascivious conduct counts. Kelley v. State , 204 So.3d 37, 37-38 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). The Florida Supreme Court quashed our decision and remanded for reconsideration in light of its decision in State v. Knighton , 235 So.3d 312 (Fla. 2018).
In light of Knighton , the trial court correctly rejected Appellant's request for a jury instruction on unnatural and lascivious act. See Knighton , 235 So.3d at 316-17 (explaining that unnatural must mean something other than an act that would be criminalized under lewd and lascivious statutes).
Accordingly, we AFFIRM Appellant's judgments and sentences on all counts, in all respects.
Bilbrey, Kelsey, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
