Opinion

AFFIRMED. See Tobler v. State, 239 So. 3d 796, 796 (Fla. 5th DCA 2018) (“We reject Appellants argument that the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act is unconstitutional because it allows the judge, rather than the jury, to determine whether a defendant qualifies as a prison releasee reoffender for sentencing purposes.” (citing Chapa v. State, 159 So. 3d 361, 362 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015); Lopez v. State, 135 So. 3d 539, 540 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014))); Williams v. State, 143 So. 3d 423, 424 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (rejecting Appellants argument that based on the holdings of Alleyne v. United States, 570 U.S. 99, 133 S.Ct. 2151, 186 L.Ed.2d 314 (2013), and Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), Floridas Prison Releasee Reoffender statute is unconstitutional).

PER CURIAM.
