Before EMAS, C.J., and SCALES and LINDSEY, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Pedroza v. State, 291 So.3d 541, 544 (Fla. 2020) (clarifying Kelsey v. State, 206 So. 3d 5 (Fla. 2016), receding from Johnson v. State, 215 So. 3d 1237, 1243 (Fla. 2017) and holding that "a juvenile offender's sentence does not implicate Graham [v. Florida, 560 U.S 48, 130 S.Ct. 2011, 176 L.Ed.2d 825 (2010) ] and therefore Miller [v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 132 S.Ct. 2455, 183 L.Ed.2d 407 (2012) ], unless it meets the threshold requirement of being a life sentence or the functional equivalent of a life sentence") (additional citation omitted).
