Joseph Edward BROWN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 1D99-2902.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Jan. 31, 2001.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; Phil Patterson, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Charmaine M. Millsaps, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment as a prison releasee reoffender and as an habitual felony offender following his conviction for armed robbery with a firearm. We reject Appellant’s constitutional challenges to his sentence and the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act, section 775.082(8), Florida Statutes (1997). See Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655 (Fla.2000); State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345 (Fla.2000). We also note that Appellant did not raise a statutory challenge to the imposition of a life sentence under both the habitual felony offender and the prison releasee reof-fender statutes. See Grant; Walls v. State, 765 So.2d 733 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000). Accordingly, we decline to address that issue.

AFFIRMED.

MINER, ALLEN and BENTON, JJ., concur.
