Joey WASHINGTON, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 91-2647.
Aug. 12, 1993.
Prior report: 620 So.2d 1231.

    An appeal from the circuit court for Suwannee County; L. Arthur Lawrence, Jr., Judge. *1234 James C. Banks, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Andrea D. England, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

OPINION ON REMAND

PER CURIAM.
    This court's original decision in this case affirmed appellant's conviction but reversed his sentence as a habitual felony offender for failure to make sufficient findings pursuant to section 775.084(1)(a), Florida Statutes (1989). Washington v. State, 610 So.2d 517 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992). On review of a certified question concerning the findings required in sentencing one as a habitual offender, the supreme court quashed our decision on this issue and remanded the case for further proceedings in accordance with State v. Rucker, 613 So.2d 460 (Fla.1993). Consistent with that decision, appellant's sentence as a habitual offender, as well as his conviction, is hereby AFFIRMED.

    No motion for rehearing will be entertained. The Clerk will issue mandate forthwith.

ZEHMER, C.J., and ERVIN and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
