Billy LYNCH, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D13-2664.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 18, 2013.
    Billy Lynch, Okeechobee, pro se.
    No appearance required for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. Appellant was properly sentenced under the law in effect at the time he committed the offense. Appellant’s claim that a subsequent amendment in the law should apply retroactively to his case is without merit. See Art. X, § 9, Fla. Const. (“Repeal or amendment of a criminal statute shall not affect prosecution or punishment for any crime previously committed.”); Castle v. State, 330 So.2d 10, 11 (Fla.1976). See also State v. Watts, 558 So.2d 994, 998 (Fla.1990).

GROSS, GERBER and FORST, JJ., concur.
