R CURIAM:

rit granted in part. Defendant’s convictions were not final when Ramos v.
Louisiana, 590 U.S. ––––, 140 S.Ct. 1390, 206 L.Ed.2d 583 (2020), was decided,
and therefore the holding of Ramos applies to any non-unanimous verdicts in these
proceedings. See Griffith v. Kentucky , 479 U.S. 314, 328, 107 S.Ct. 708, 716, 93
L.Ed.2d 649 (1987). The matter is remanded to the court of appeal for further
proceedings and to conduct a new error patent review in light of Ramos v.
Louisiana. The remand order does not pertain to defendant’s convictions for
obstruction of just ice, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, and illegal
possession of stolen firearm, which were by unanimous verdict. The application is
otherwise denied.
