Opinion

No. 99-1064

Opinion filed May 14, 1999 JANUARY TERM 1999

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Reese Moore, Gainesville, pro se.

No Appearance for Respondent.

GRIFFIN, C.J.

We have received correspondence which we treat as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner asserts he is being illegally held because the crime he committed — snatching a purse containing only $12 — is not a felony. He fails to recognize that it is the "snatching" that defines his crime, not the amount snatched.

PETITION DENIED.

COBB and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
