Roy Nebraska SCOTT, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 79823.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Dec. 3, 1992.
    Rehearing Denied Feb. 16, 1993.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender and Kathleen Stover, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for petitioner.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen. and James W. Rogers, Bureau Chief, Criminal Appeals, and Sara D. Baggett, Asst. Attys. Gen., Tallahassee, for respondent.
   OVERTON, Justice.

We have for review Scott v. State, 600 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992), in which the district court certified the same questions we recently answered in the negative in Tillman v. State, 609 So.2d 1295 (Fla.1992). We choose not to consider the other issues raised by the petitioner since they were not discussed by the district court in its opinion. For the reasons expressed in Tillman, we approve the decision of the district court.

It is so ordered.

McDonald, SHAW, GRIMES and HARDING, JJ., concur.

KOGAN, J., dissents with an opinion, in which BARKETT, C.J., concurs.

KOGAN, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent on the basis of my dissenting opinion in Tillman v. State, 609 So.2d 1295 (Fla.1992). The petitioner has only been convicted of one violent crime and therefore cannot be a habitual violent felony offender.

BARKETT, C.J., concurs.
