Daniel F. Walsh appeals an order denying postconviction relief, in which he claims that he does not qualify as a habitual offender because a North Carolina conviction should not have been counted as a predicate offense. A review of this court’s records discloses that this exact claim was rejected by this court in Walsh v. State, 727 So.2d 936 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). This court’s earlier ruling is dispositive.

Affirmed.
