LAMBERT, J., concurring. 5D20-425

Appellant was convicted at trial of robbery and battery on a person sixty-five years of age or older. I concur in the affirmance of Appellant’s judgment and sentences and would note that any claim of error by Appellant in the sentencing documents has not been preserved for appellate review. See Carter v. State, 791 So. 2d 525, 526–27 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (“A sentencing issue that has not been raised in the trial court either by an objection at the sentencing hearing or in a subsequent [Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure] 3.800(b) motion will not be addressed on direct appeal. The procedure established by rule 3.800(b) enables the parties to object to sentencing errors that were not apparent at the time of the sentencing hearing.” (internal citation omitted) (citing Amendments to Fla. Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.111(e) & 3.800 & Fla. Rules of Appellate Procedure, 9.020(h), 9.140, & 9.600, 761 So. 2d 1015, 1016 (Fla. 1999))).
