Navarro v. State

German Navarro appeals an order denying his motion to correct illegal sentence. We affirm.

Defendant-appellant Navarro was found guilty of having committed an armed robbery using a deadly weapon or firearm.* That offense is a first degree felony, punishable by life imprisonment. § 812.13(2)(a), Fla. Stat. (1997).
