We affirm appellant’s appeal of his habitual felony offender sentence. Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000) does not require findings beyond a reasonable doubt of the fact of a prior conviction. 120 S.Ct. at 2362-63. Appellant argues that Ap-prendi applies to finding necessity for ha-bitualization under section 775.084, Florida Statutes. The statute, however, does not require such a finding. It only requires a finding if the court concludes that habitual-ization is unnecessary where the other requirements of the statute are met. § 775.084(3)(a)6. That finding was not made here, and in any event would not be a fact which must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Apprendi, 120 S.Ct. at 2362-63 (distinguishing between facts in aggravation of punishment and facts in mitigation of punishment). Affirmed.
