Kamiah Lanier,
Appellant,
vs.
State of Florida,
Appellee.
An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Ramiro C. Areces, Judge.
Kamiah Lanier, in proper person.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Haccord J. Curry, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before SCALES, C.J., and LINDSEY, and GOODEN, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant entered into a negotiated plea in the trial court. He now brings this motion challenging the legality of his sentence under Rule 3.800(a). This is not legally cognizable. We can afford him no relief. See Peralta v. State, 390 So. 3d 680, 681 (Fla. 3d DCA 2024) (finding rule 3.800(a) motion is not the appropriate remedy when the defendant has a negotiated plea).
Affirmed.
