CHARLES ARTHUR JERRY,
Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
[July 13, 2000]
PER CURIAM.
We have for review Jerry v. State, 715 So. 2d 1141 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), a 
decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirming on the authority of its
opinion in Maddox v. State, 708 So. 2d 617 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), approved in
part, disapproved in part, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000).  We
granted jurisdiction based on Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418, 420 (Fla. 1981),
because we had accepted jurisdiction in Maddox in order to resolve the issue of
whether sentencing errors could be raised on appeal although unpreserved. 
-2-
Because Jerry does not raise any sentencing errors on appeal, we dismiss this case. 
We decline to address any of the trial errors raised by the defendant.  See, e.g.,
Wood v. State, 750 So. 2d 592, 595 n.3 (Fla. 1999); McMullen v. State, 714 So.
2d 368, 373 (Fla. 1998).
It is so ordered.
WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS and
QUINCE, JJ., concur.
NO MOTION FOR REHEARING WILL BE ALLOWED.
