Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We have for review Green v. State, 583 So. 2d 796, 797 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), in which the district court certified the following question of great public importance: *

Is a first-degree felony punishable by a term of years not exceeding life imprisonment subject to an enhanced sentence of life imprisonment pursuant to the provisions of the habitual felony offender statute [section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1989) ]?

We answered this question in the affirmative in Burdick v. State, 594 So. 2d 267 (Fla.1992). We therefore approve the opinion below.

It is so ordered.

SHAW, C.J. and OVERTON, McDonald, barkett, grimes, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur. *

We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution.

Once the judge decides in favor of admissibility, the statement passes into the realm of the trier of fact to determine weight, character, and credibility, and it would be error for the judge to comment on it.

State, 594 So. 2d 292, 294 (Fla.1992) (“[T]he judge should not invade the province of the jury by commenting on the evidence or indicating what inferences may be drawn from it.”).3 We find no error in the present case.
