Opinion:
SHAW, Justice.
We have for review Murray v. State, 602 So.2d 583 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992), based on conflict with State v. Rucker, 613 So.2d 460 (Fla.1993). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. We quash the district court decision in Murray.
When Murray was sentenced under section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1989), as an habitual felony offender, the trial court failed to make specific findings that the predicate convictions had not been pardoned or set aside. The district court re versed and remanded, giving the court an opportunity to make the findings. In Rucker, we held that remanding may be unnecessary since appellate courts are authorized to apply harmless error analysis to this particular sentencing error. Accordingly, we quash the decision of the district court below and remand for proceedings consistent with Rucker.
It is so ordered.
