James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Nancy Ryan, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Maximillian J. Changus, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

THOMPSON, J.

Roosevelt Richardson appeals from sentence which was enhanced pursuant to the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act, section 775.082(8)(a), Florida Statutes. He contends that the statute is invalid because it violates the constitutional principle of separation of powers. We affirm. See Speed v. State, 732 So.2d 17 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999).

AFFIRMED.

DAUKSCH and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
