No. 90-2699.

583 So.2d 733, 16 Fla. L. Week. D1888, 16 Fla. L. Week. D2183

District Court of Appeal of Florida,

First District.

July 23, 1991.

On Motion for Certification Aug. 16, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County; Judge G. Robert Barron.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Lynn A. Williams, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Bradley R. Bischoff, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court's denial of appellant's motion to discharge and replace his court-appointed counsel is AFFIRMED.

The habitual offender statute, section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1989), is constitutional. Pittman v. State, 570 So.2d 1045 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990); Arnold v. State, 566 So.2d 37 (Fla.2d DCA 1990), rev. den., 576 So.2d 284 (Fla.1991); Johnson v. State, 564 So.2d 1174 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990), rev. den., 576 So.2d 288 (Fla.1991); Roberts v. State, 559 So.2d 289 (Fla. 2d DCA), dism., 564 So.2d 488 (Fla.1990); King v. State, 557 So.2d 899 (Fla. 5th DCA), rev. den., 564 So.2d 1086 (Fla.1990). See also Barber v. State, 564 So.2d 1169 (Fla. 1st DCA), rev. den., 576 So.2d 284 (Fla.1990), construing section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1987).

However, under Barnes v. State, 576 So.2d 758 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), rev. pending, No. 77,751 (Fla.), the habitual offender classification is REVERSED.

ZEHMER, BARFIELD and WOLF, JJ., concur.
