Heading: Ring Violation

Text: Orme raises the same Ring claim raised in his appeal of the denial of postconviction relief, but also recognizes that this Court has repeatedly rejected arguments that Ring has any application to Florida's capital sentencing scheme. As we stated in Orme's postconviction appeal and as Orme concedes, similar arguments have been addressed and rejected by this Court. Orme, 896 So.2d at 736-37; see also Fennie v. State, 855 So.2d 597, 607 n. 10 (Fla.2003); Doorbal v. State, 837 So.2d 940, 963 (Fla.2003). Moreover, Orme was convicted not only of first-degree murder, but also of two additional violent felonies: sexual battery and robbery. We have consistently found that Ring is satisfied when a defendant commits a murder in the course of an enumerated felony. See generally Parker v. State, 873 So.2d 270 (Fla. 2004). Accordingly, relief is denied on this claim.
