| Court | Florida District Court of Appeals |
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Allen Kornblum, Judge.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Lorraine C. Holmes, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Roberta G. Mandel, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUBBART and BASKIN, JJ.
Because the crime in question was committed on January 27, 1989, after the October 1, 1988 effective date of the amendment to the Habitual Offender Act, section 775.084(3), Florida Statutes (1988), contained in Ch. 88-131, section 6, Laws of Florida, the appellant's contention that the extended sentence imposed by the court was defective is without merit. See Taylor v. State, 559 So.2d 385 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990); Robinson v. State, 551 So.2d 1240, 1241 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989).
Affirmed.
