Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; Howard Gross, Judge.

PER CURIAM.

We agree with the trial court's determination that the sentencing guidelines, see § 921.001(4)(a). Fla. Stat. (1983), were not applicable in this case upon a holding that the first degree felonies were properly reclassified under the provisions of section 775.087, Florida Statutes (1983), to life felonies. See Strickland v. State, 437 So.2d 150 (Fla. 1983).

The sentences imposed are, accordingly, affirmed.

Affirmed.
