OVERTON, Judge.

We quash the decision of the district court in Malone v. State, 588 So.2d 674 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), on the authority of State v. Barnes, 595 So.2d 22 (Fla.1992),1 and remand this cause for further proceedings consistent with our decision in Barnes.

It is so ordered.

SHAW, C.J., and McDONALD, BARKETT, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.. The 1989 amendment to section 775.-084(l)(a)l, Florida Statutes (Supp.1988), did not change the plain meaning of the statute.
