Raul CONTRERAS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D05-1720.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 31, 2005.
    
      Raul Contreras, in proper person.
    Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before WELLS, and CORTINAS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
   WELLS, Judge.

Raul Contreras appeals from an order denying his Rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence claiming that the habituali-zation notice provided to him was not sufficiently specific. A notice deficiency of this nature does not, however, render a sentence “illegal” under Rule 3.800(a) and must therefore be raised in a motion for post-conviction relief under Rule 3.850. See Cooper v. State, 817 So.2d 934 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002). Under Rule 3.850, the instant claim is time-barred.

Affirmed.
