    Kelvin JONES, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 98-1005.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Nov. 24, 1999.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Suzanne M. Froix, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Christine E. Zahralban, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before NESBITT, COPE, and SORONDO, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. We find the evidence was sufficient to support the defendant’s conviction of attempted robbery with a firearm. We likewise affirm defendant’s sentence as a violent career criminal as against his claim that such a sentence is constitutionally infirm. See Higgs v. State, 695 So.2d 872 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997). Nonetheless, we certify conflict so as to pair the case for review with Thompson v. State, 708 So.2d 315 (Fla. 2d DCA), rev. granted, 717 So.2d 538 (Fla.1998).

Affirmed.
