Reese MOORE, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
No. 99-1064.

May 14, 1999.
Reese Moore, Gainesville, pro se.
No Appearance for Respondent.

Opinion:
GRIFFIN, C.J.
We have received correspondence which we treat as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner asserts he is being illegally held because the crime he committed— snatching a purse containing only $12 — is not a felony. He fails to recognize that it is the "snatching" that defines his crime, not the amount snatched.
PETITION DENIED.
COBB and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
