Opinion

No. 99-2411.

Opinion filed October 13, 1999.

An appeal under Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(i) from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Richard V. Margolius, Judge, L.T. Nos. 91-42776D, 92-3518B

Lorenzo Tatum, in proper person.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, for appellee.

Before COPE, GODERICH and FLETCHER, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Lorenzo Tatum appeals an order denying his motion to correct illegal sentence under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). He argues that he was a juvenile at the time he pled guilty to second degree murder and other crimes in 1993, and contends that his sentence is illegal because the sentencing court did not make findings regarding the necessity of adult sanctions. See § 39.059(7)(d), Fla. Stat. (1991). We reject that claim on authority of Summers v. State, 684 So.2d 729 (Fla. 1996). We find no merit to appellant's remaining points and reject them without discussion.

Affirmed.
