3.800 Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Johns County, Howard M. Maltz, Judge.

Khris A. Tobler, Century, pro se.

No Appearance for Appellee.

PER CURIAM

AFFIRMED. We reject Appellant’s argument that the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act is unconstitutional because it allows the judge, rather than the jury, to determine whether a defendant qualifies as a prison releasee reoffender for sentencing purposes. See Chapa v. State, 159 So. 3d 361, 362 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015); Lopez v. State, 135 So. 3d 539, 540 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014).

COHEN, C.J., TORPY, and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.
