ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM, Judge.

              Desmond Baker challenges his sentence of fifty years' imprisonment

without review after twenty-five years, which the trial court imposed for his 1999 first-

degree murder conviction upon resentencing pursuant to Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S.
460 (2012) (holding that mandatory life imprisonment without parole for offenders who

were younger than eighteen years old at the time of their offense violates the Eighth

Amendment). We agree with the State that Baker is not entitled to review because

previous to his original sentencing on the first-degree murder count, he had been

convicted of armed robbery and armed burglary arising out of criminal episodes

separate from the one involving the murder. See § 921.1402(2)(a)(4), (5), Florida

Statutes (2017) ("A juvenile offender sentenced under s. 775.082(1)(b)1. is entitled to a

review of his or her sentence after 25 years [unless] he or she has previously been

convicted of [certain enumerated offenses that were] part of a separate criminal

transaction or episode . . . ."); cf. Wasko v. State, 505 So. 2d 1314, 1317-18 (Fla. 1987)

(explaining that convictions obtained contemporaneously with a conviction for a capital

offense "can qualify as previous convictions of violent felony and may be used as

aggravating factors" at sentencing for the capital offense when those convictions

"involved multiple victims in a single incident or separate incidents combined in a single

trial" (and cases cited therein)). We reject Baker's other arguments without discussion.

              Affirmed.
