Before FERNANDEZ, LOGUE, and SCALES, JJ.

      LOGUE, J.
      Christian Echevarria was charged with one count of first-degree murder and

one count of robbery with a deadly weapon for a crime he committed when he was

fifteen years of age. He entered a plea to second-degree murder and robbery with a

deadly weapon. In 2000, he was sentenced to concurrent sentences of thirty-five

years for each count. In 2017, he filed a motion for post-conviction relief arguing

his lengthy sentences for the crimes he committed as a juvenile violate Graham v.

Florida, 

(2010), Miller v. Alabama, 

(2012), and their

Florida progeny. The trial court denied the motion and Echevarria appealed. We

affirm under the authority of Pedroza v. State, 

, 1129 (Fla. 4th

DCA 2018), review granted, No. SC18-964, 

, at *1 (Fla. Dec. 6,

2018).

      Affirmed.
