Head Matter:
Bennie Lee WALKER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. AQ-424.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Oct. 11, 1983.
Rehearing Denied Dec. 14, 1983.
Michael Allen, Public Defender, Glenna Joyce Reeves, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Andrew Thomas, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
MILLS, Judge.
After being convicted of trafficking in stolen property, Walker was sentenced as an habitual felony offender. Section 775.-084, Florida Statutes (1981). He appeals that sentence, contending that the trial court erred in failing to state the underlying facts and circumstances upon which it relied in finding that an extended sentence was necessary for the protection of the public from further criminal activity by him.
An examination of the record shows that Walker did not raise this objection below. Therefore, any error in sentencing has not been preserved for review on direct appeal. Jones v. State, 384 So.2d 956 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980).
The appeal is dismissed without prejudice to Walker raising this issue by a Rule 3.850 motion. Sawyer v. State, 401 So.2d 939 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981).
Appeal dismissed.
SHIVERS and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
