An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Edward D. Cowart, judge.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Ralph Barreira, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARKDULL and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.
In affirming the sentence imposed below, we join our sister court in Myers v. State, 499 So.2d 895, 898 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986), 1 in holding that where, as here, the trial court "utilized the habitual offender statute to increase the length of sentence allowed by law and not to exceed the term of imprisonment recommended by the sentencing guidelines," there is no conflict with Whitehead v. State, 498 So.2d 863 (Fla.1986), and the sentence is lawful. We certify the following question as being one of great public importance:
IS USE OF THE HABITUAL OFFENDER STATUTE TO EXCEED THE STATUTORILY PRESCRIBED MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR THE OFFENSE PRECLUDED WHERE THE SENTENCE IMPOSED DOES NOT EXCEED THE
Affirmed.
