Reese MOORE, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 99-1064.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    May 14, 1999.
    Reese Moore, Gainesville, pro se.
    No Appearance for Respondent.
   GRIFFIN, C.J.

We have received correspondence which we treat as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner asserts he is being illegally held because the crime he committed— snatching a purse containing only $12 — is not a felony. He fails to recognize that it is the “snatching” that defines his crime, not the amount snatched.

PETITION DENIED.

COBB and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
