Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Kenneth A. Johnson appeals an order summarily denying his motion to correct illegal sentence in which he argued that the trial court’s failure to impose a required mandatory minimum sentence rendered his sentence illegal. Because the challenged order was not adverse to Johnson, we dismiss the appeal. See Earl v. State, 276 So. 3d 359 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (certifying conflict with Vargas v. State, 188 So. 3d 915 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016); Solomon v. State, 254 So. 3d 1121 (Fla. 5th DCA 2018); and Burks v. State, 237 So. 3d 1060 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017)).

RAY, C.J., and MAKAR and KELSEY, JJ., concur. _____________________________
