We have for review Baker v. State, 591 So.2d 959 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), in which the Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's holding that a life sentence is mandatory under the habitual offender statute when a defendant is habitualized on a first-degree felony. We accept jurisdiction and remand the case for reconsideration in light of our decision in Burdick v. State, 594 So.2d 267 (Fla. 1992).

Art. V, § 3(b)(3), and Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla. 1981).

It is so ordered.

SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, BARKETT, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
