Charles Kaplan of the Law Office of Kaplan & Singhal, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

FARMER, J.

We affirm defendant's conviction and write only to address his sentence as both a habitual felony offender (HFO) and a prison releasee reoffender (PRR). The conviction is armed robbery; the sentence is life. On the sentencing form, the trial judge checked both the blocks for the HFO statute and the PRR statute.

Under HFO, the trial judge could impose a maximum of life,1 while under PRR the maximum is 30 years.
