West v. State

We have for review West v. State, 584 So.2d 1044, 1046 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), in which the district court certified the following question of great public importance: *

Is a first degree felony punishable by a term of years not exceeding life imprisonment subject to an enhanced sentence of life imprisonment pursuant to the provisions of the habitual felony offender statute?

We answered this question in the affirmative in Burdick v. State, 594 So.2d 267 (Fla.1992). We therefore approve the opinion below.

It is so ordered.
