WALTER CLARK, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2011-01-26
No. 4D10-1034
DAMOORGIAN, CIKLIN and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
54 So. 3d 1033 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2011) Negative Treatment
Cited by 5 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s order denying appellant’s motion to correct illegal sentence. Appellant claimed that his prior offenses for which the court withheld adjudication of guilt and placed him on probation do not qualify as predicate offenses for habitual felony offender (HFO) sentencing. Appellant is wrong. At the time appellant committed the offense for which he received the HFO sentence, the relevant section of the HFO statute provided: “For the purposes of this section, the placing of a person on probation or community control without an adjudication of guilt shall be treated as a prior conviction.” § 775.084(2), Fla. Stat. (2000); see also ch. 99-188, § 3, Laws of Fla. (effective July 1, 1999).

Affirmed.

DAMOORGIAN, CIKLIN and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
