Opinion
No. 4D01-1165.
August 21, 2002.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; James I. Cohn, Judge; L.T. Case No. 00-13240 CF10A.
Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Jeffrey L. Anderson, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Gary K. Milligan, Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
Appellant, Kevin Render, appeals from a judgment and conviction for the offense of robbery with a firearm, raising five issues, all of which we affirm. We write only to address the sentencing issue raised by appellant.
Appellant argues that it was error to sentence him pursuant to the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act. We affirm the sentencing issue based on the recently decided case by the Florida Supreme Court in Knight v. State, 808 So.2d 210 (Fla. 2002), which held that a defendant, as a prison releasee reoffender, was subject to a life sentence for conviction of robbery with a firearm, a first-degree felony punishable by life.
AFFIRMED.
STEVENSON and MAY, JJ., concur.
