                            FOURTH DISTRICT

                         STATE OF FLORIDA,
                             Appellant,

                                   v.

                      ONTERRIOUS V. TILLMAN,
                             Appellee.

                    Nos. 4D22-1875 and 4D22-2300

                            [June 28, 2023]

   Consolidated appeals from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial
Circuit, Palm Beach County; Howard Coates, Judge; L.T. Case No.
502020CF006155A.

   Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sorraya M. Solages-
Jones, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

  Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Paul Edward Petillo, Assistant
Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

   In case number 4D22-1875, we affirm without discussion the circuit
court’s order granting the defendant’s post-verdict renewed motion for
judgment of acquittal on the charge of neglect of a child causing great
bodily harm while in possession of a firearm.

   In case number 4D22-2300, we affirm the defendant’s conviction on
the charge of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon.
The defendant’s first two arguments on appeal lack merit and require no
further discussion. The defendant’s third argument on appeal, that he
was entitled to a twelve-person jury under the Sixth and Fourteenth
Amendments to the United States Constitution, also lacks merit, for the
reasons stated in Guzman v. State, 350 So. 3d 72, 73 (Fla. 4th DCA 2022),
rev. denied, No. SC22-1597, 2023 WL 3830251 (Fla. June 6, 2023).

   Case no. 4D22-1875 affirmed; case no. 4D22-2300 affirmed.

WARNER, MAY, and GERBER, JJ., concur.
                      *        *        *

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
