PER CURIAM.
Marilyn Harrell appeals an order appointing Teresa Hahn a/k/a Marie Hahn, as plenary guardian of the person and property of Evelyn Margaret Larison. Ms. Harrell alleges that the trial court erred by denying her petition to be appointed as her sister’s guardian and granting the competing petition of Ms. Hahn, the incapacitated person’s daughter. Having reviewed the record carefully, we find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in its application of section 744.312, Florida Statutes (2004). We likewise find that the trial court’s order is founded on substantial, competent evidence. In Re Guardianship of Sapp, 868 So. 2d 687 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004). The trial court’s ruling on discretionary matters will be sustained unless no reasonable person would have adopted the view taken by the trial court. Quince v. State, 732 So. 2d 1059, 1062 (Fla. 1999). Since that is not the case here, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.

State, 929 So. 2d 675, 677 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006); Smith v. State, 655 So. 2d 1271, 1272 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). But to be effective, the waiver must be knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made. See Miller v. State, 833 So. 2d 318, 319 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003). Second, a defen…

Sullivan v. State (Fla. 2d DCA 2022)…ule of Criminal Procedure 3.180(a)(9), but that rule merely provides that a defendant's presence is required at the pronouncement of judgment and the imposition of sentence; it does not authorize relief by postconviction motion. See Brown v. State, 929 So. 2d 675, 677 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006). As a result, the postconviction court should have stricken Sullivan's motion as unauthorized. See id. Instead, 1 The trial court sentenced Sullivan to consecutive terms of fifteen years' imprisonment on the aggravated ba…
