                                             Case No. 5D23-3436
                                        LT Case No. 2010-CF-625

LAMBERT, J., concurring with opinion.

    Trevorisse Thomas appealed the postconviction court’s
summary denial of his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a)
motion to correct illegal sentence. Thomas’s sole challenge in his
motion was to the sentence imposed by the trial court for his
conviction on count one of the amended information of burglary of
an occupied dwelling.

     It is unnecessary to detail Thomas’s argument regarding his
view of either the alleged illegality of his sentence or of the
insufficiency of the lower court’s analysis.         Affirmance is
appropriate here because the attachments to the court’s instant
denial order and, for that matter, to Thomas’s subject motion,
conclusively refute his claim. The amended information attached
to the order and motion showed that Thomas was charged with
committing the crime of burglary of an occupied dwelling, in
violation of section 810.02(3)(a), Florida Statutes (2009), which is
a second-degree felony.

     Next, the copy of the verdict attached to the denial order and
to Thomas’s motion showed that the jury found Thomas guilty of
burglary, as charged, and that it made a separate, special finding
in its verdict that the structure in question was an occupied
dwelling. Lastly, the copy of the judgment and sentence attached
to the denial order showed that the trial court imposed a fifteen-
year prison sentence on this count, which is an entirely lawful
sentence for this second-degree felony.
