PER CURIAM.

In denying certiorari, we note that the use of case action summary sheets to prove prior convictions was authorized in Sargent v. State, 515 So.2d 729 (Ala.1987), and Acts of Alabama 1987, Act. No. 87-604, and that the discussion concerning proving such convictions should not be interpreted as holding that local acts can change general laws. See Alabama Constitution 1901, § 105.
