    Tonny PRESIDENT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D16-1044.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    July 6, 2016.
    Tonny President, Blountstown, pro se.
    No appearance required for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Tonny President appeals the summary denial of his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion for postconviction relief. We affirm, holding that President failed to demonstrate prejudice.

In 2002, President was convicted of robbery with a firearm and sentenced to life in prison with a ten-year minimum mandatory sentence. We affirmed that conviction and sentence on direct appeal. President v. State, 881 So.2d 1124 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004) (unpublished table decision). President later filed a rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief based on a score-sheet error, and we reversed the denial of that motion and remanded for an eviden-tiary hearing or resentencing. See President v. State, 981 So.2d 673 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008); President v. State, 82 So.3d 889 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011). In January 2012, President was resentenced with a corrected scoresheet to twenty years in prison with a ten-year minimum mandatory sentence.

After resentencing,- President filed another rule 3.850 motion, alleging that re-sentencing counsel was ineffective. In response, the State argued that the motion was procedurally barred as successive to President’s previous rule 3.850 motion. The trial court summarily denied the motion, adopting the State’s response. President appeals.

We conclude that the trial court erred in finding that President’s motion was imper-missibly successive. President clearly could not have included his current claims in his prior motion, because that motion was filed before resentencing. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(h)(2).

We affirm, however, because we hold that President failed to demonstrate prejudice. While President alleged that counsel was ineffective for convincing him to testify at resentencing, for advising him to lie about having prior convictions other than those listed on the scoresheet, and for failing to present certain issues for mitigation, he failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability, beyond mere speculation, that he would have received a lesser sentence but for counsel’s alleged errors. See, e.g., Derrick v. State, 983 So.2d 443, 462 (Fla.2008) (“[I]t is difficult to speculate whether the result of the resentencing would have differed if counsel had presented evidence of Derrick’s upbringing or mental health mitigation. However, in order to sufficiently undermine this Court’s confidence in the outcome of the resentencing, Derrick must rely on more than mere speculation.”).
