We have for review the decision in Palmieri v. State, 745 So.2d 425 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999), which certified conflict with the opinions in McKnight v. State, 727 So.2d 314 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999), approved, 769 So.2d 1039 (Fla.2000), and Woods v. State, 740 So.2d 20 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999), approved sub nom. State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345 (Fla.2000). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
Palmieri challenges his sentence under the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act1 ("the Act") on several grounds, all of which have been addressed by previous opinions of this Court. See Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655 (Fla.2000) ( ); State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345 (Fla.2000) ( ). Accordingly, the decision in Palmieri is approved to the extent that it is consistent with our opinions in Grant and Cotton.
It is so ordered.
I dissent for the reasons stated in my dissent in State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345, 358-59 (Fla.2000).
