TORIE GERMANYLLASHEA RICHARDSON

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a jury of sexual crimes he committed against a child. He argues on appeal the trial court made insufficient findings when it admitted child hearsay statements under section 90.803(23)(c), Florida Statutes (2020). We held in Coleman v. State, 315 So. 3d 166 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021), that to preserve this argument for appellate review, the trial court must be put on notice of the alleged deficiency after its ruling. Appellant concedes he did not make a sufficient objection under Coleman. Because this issue was not preserved, we affirm. We reject Appellant’s second argument without further comment.

AFFIRMED.

WINOKUR and LONG, JJ., concur; MAKAR, J., concurs in result with opinion.

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________

MAKAR, J., concurring in result.

Richardson’s counsel made sufficient objections under Hopkins v. State, 632 So. 2d 1372, 1375 (Fla. 1994) and In Interest of R.L.R., 647 So. 2d 251 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994), but because the trial court’s ruling on the merits of the child hearsay issue is supportable, affirmance is warranted.
