MICKEY PALMIERI, Appellant. v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

No. 99-00727.

DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, SECOND DISTRICT.

Nov. 3, 1999.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County; Richard A. Luce, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Joan Fowler, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee and Helene S. Parnes, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the constitutionality of section 775.082(8), Florida Statutes (1997), the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act. We affirm based upon this court's holdings in State v. Cowart, 24 Fla. L. Weekly D1085 (Fla. 2d DCA Apr. 28, 1999) and State v. Cotton, 728 So. 2d 251 (Fla.2d DCA 1998). We also certify conflict as we did in Cowart with McKnight v. State, 727 So.2d 314 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) and Woods v. State, 740 So.2d 20 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).

Affirmed.

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and NORTHCUTT and STRINGER, JJ., Concur.
