Jason LAUGHLIN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County. Terrance R. Ketchel, Judge.
Jason Laughlin, pro se, Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Eric Gonzalez, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.

Jason Laughlin appeals the denial of his petition for a name change. Because the circuit court offered two independent grounds for the denial and Laughlin challenges only one, he cannot meet his burden to show reversible error. We are constrained to affirm regardless of whether the issue he raises has merit. See STS Telecom, LLC v. Jacobsen, 901 So.2d 980, 980–81 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005).

AFFIRMED. VAN NORTWICK, RAY, and OSTERHAUS, JJ., concur.
