CORRECTED OPINION


We affirm the conviction and sentence in all respects. We certify conflict with Adams v.

We also certify conflict withOliveira v. State, 751 So.2d 611 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999) on the issue of whether the double jeopardy clause precludes sentencing of a defendant as either a prison releasee reoffender or an habitual violent felony offender, after the defendant's sentence had already been enhanced pursuant to Section 784.07, Florida Statutes (1997).
