¶1 *1274 James B. Ford, Century, pro se.

¶2No appearance required for appellee.

¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4We affirm appellant's 1997 sentence as an habitual offender, as such sentences are not affected by the supreme court's decision in Heggs v. State,759 So.2d 620 (Fla. 2000) (revised opinion). An habitual offender sentence is not a guidelines sentence even where, as here, the actual sentence imposed coincides with the bottom of guidelines.
