dissenting.

I dissent for the reasons stated in my dissent in State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345, 358-59 (Fla. 2000).

We have for review Lookadoo v. State, 737 So.2d 637 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), which expressly and directly conflicts with the opinion in State v. Cotton, 728 So.2d 251 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998), quashed, 769 So.2d 345 (Fla. 2000). We have jurisdiction. See Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

Lookadoo challenges his life sentence under the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act1 (the “Act”) on several grounds, all of which have been addressed by this Court in other opinions. See McKnight v. State, 769 So.2d 1039 (Fla. 2000) (holding that a defendant has the right both to present evidence to prove that the defendant does not qualify for sentencing under the Act and to challenge the State’s evidence regarding the defendant’s eligibility for sentencing as a prison releasee reoffender); Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655 (Fla. 2000) (rejecting an ex post facto challenge to the Act and holding that the Act neither violates neither the single subject rule for legislation nor equal protection principles, nor does it subject defendants properly sentenced under it to double jeopardy); Ellis v. State, 762 So.2d 912 (Fla. 2000) (recognizing that, “[a]s to notice, publication in the Laws of Florida or the Florida Statutes gives all citizens constructive notice of the consequences of their actions”) (quoting State v. Beasley, 580 So.2d 139, 142 (Fla. 1991)); State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345 (Fla. 2000) (holding that the Act does not violate separation of powers, is not void for vagueness, and does not violate principles of due process by allowing a “victim veto” precluding application of the Act). Accordingly, the decision in Looka-doo is approved to the extent it is eonsis-tent with Cotton,2 Ellis, McKnight, and Grant

It is so ordered.
