Head Matter:
Quinton COLLIER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 94-352.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Feb. 10, 1995.
Steven G. Mason, Law Offices of Steven G. Mason, Orlando, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Anthony J. Hall, Certified Legal Intern, and Belle B. Turner, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Defendant contends that because he is mentally ill and addicted to drags, his sentence of twenty-five years as a habitual violent felony offender is cruel and/or unusual. Alternatively, he contends the lower court reversibly erred in refusing a downward departure sentence. We find no merit in either argument and affirm the judgments and sentence.
AFFIRMED.
HARRIS, C.J., and PETERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
. The guidelines' permitted range for his offenses was twelve to twenty-seven years. The defendant was sentenced on ten felonies including armed burglary of a dwelling. His prior record consisted of fourteen felonies, including robbery with a deadly weapon, and three misdemeanors.
