    April 16, 1999.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Sherrie Barnes, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Robert A Butterworth, Attorney General, and Daniel A David, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The appellant’s conviction is affirmed. See Woods v. State, 98-1955, — So.2d -, 1999 WL 162971 (Fla. 1st DCA March 26, 1999). As in Woods, we certify the following question to the supreme court as one of great public importance:

DOES THE PRISON RELEASEE REOFFENDER PUNISHMENT ACT, CODIFIED AS SECTION 775.082(8), FLORIDA STATUTES (1997), VIOLATE THE SEPARATION OF POWERS CLAUSE OF THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION?

Affirmed.
