Opinion
AFFIRMED. See Saunders v. State, 863 So.2d 458, 459 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004) (“Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), does not prohibit the trial court’s finding that appellant qualified as an habitual felony offender. See, e.g., Jones v. State, 791 So.2d 580 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001).”); see also Frumenti v. State, 885 So.2d 924, 925 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004) (holding a sentence under section 775.084, Florida Statutes, the Habitual Felony Offender statute, is not illegal because “Blakely merely applied Apprendi v. New Jersey”); McBride v. State, 884 So.2d 476, 478 (Fla, 4th DCA 2004) (holding Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), “does not entitle a defendant to [1099]*1099have a jury determine whether he has the requisite predicate convictions for a habitual felony offender sentence”).
