PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

JORGENSON and GODERICH, JJ., concur. Alexander Galindez v. The State of Florida

Case No. 3D02-2207

NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DISPOSED OF.

COPE, J. (concurring).

I concur in the denial of the motion to correct illegal sentence because I conclude that the decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), is not retroactive. Curtis v. United States, 294 F.3d 841 (7th Cir. 2002), and cases cited therein; McCoy v. United States, 266 F.3d 1245 (11th Cir. 2001), cert. denied, 122 S.Ct. 2362 (2002).
