Head Matter:
Frank Edward COOPER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 92-3220.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 8, 1993.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Abel Gomez, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Michelle A. Konig, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

Opinion:
BARFIELD, Judge.
Frank Edward Cooper was sentenced as an habitual felony offender pursuant to section 775.084(l)(a), Florida Statutes (1991), on the basis of two prior felony convictions for separate crimes arising from a single incident in 1989. We affirm the sentence on the authority of State v. Barnes, 595 So.2d 22 (Fla.1992). In affirming we reject appellant's argument that the rationale of Justice Kogan's concurring opinion in Barnes should be applied in the instance where the prior convictions arose from a single incident. That rationale was not adopted by the majority in Barnes and is not a logical extension of the Barnes majority opinion.
AFFIRMED.
