    STATE of Florida, Petitioner, v. Willie ANDERSON, Respondent.
    No. 79535.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Feb. 11, 1993.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and James W. Rogers, Bureau Chief, Crim. Appeals and Carolyn J. Mosley, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for petitioner.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender and Carol Ann Turner, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for respondent.
   SHAW, Justice.

We have for review Anderson v. State, 592 So.2d 1119 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), wherein the court certified the following question:

Does the holding in Eutsey v. State, 383 So.2d 219 (Fla.1980), that the state has no burden of proof as to whether the convictions necessary for habitual felony offender sentencing have been pardoned or set aside, in that they are “affirmative defenses available to [a defendant],” Eutsey at 226, relieve the trial court of its statutory obligation to make findings regarding those factors, if the defendant does not affirmatively raise, as a defense, that the qualifying convictions provided by the state have been pardoned or set aside?

Anderson, 592 So.2d at 1121. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

We answered this question in the negative in State v. Rucker, 613 So.2d 460 (Fla. 1993), but held that harmless error analysis may be applied on appeal. We quash the decision of the district court in Anderson and remand for proceedings consistent with Rucker.

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and OVERTON, McDonald, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
