     An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Dennis J.

Defender, for appellant.

Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SUAREZ, LAGOA, and SALTER, JJ.

      PER CURIAM.
            ON REMAND FROM THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

       This case has been remanded to us by the Florida Supreme Court following

its decision in State v. Guzman, SC17-460, 2018 WL 6010728 (Fla. Nov. 16,

2018). That decision quashed our reversal of Guzman’s convictions as barred by

the statute of limitations for the offenses. See Guzman v. State, 211 So. 3d 204,

205 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016).

       In accordance with the Supreme Court’s opinion and pursuant to its

mandate, we reinstate Guzman’s convictions without prejudice to his raising the

issue in a post-conviction relief motion. See State v. Guzman, 2018 WL 6010728,

at *1 (Pariente, J., dissenting).
