    Christopher John COLE, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D17-1437
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Opinion filed August 16, 2017
    Christopher John Cole, in proper person. ,
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before LAGOA, EMAS and SCALES, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant Christopher John Cole appeals frbm the trial court’s denial of his motion to correct illegal sentence under Florida Rule ’ of - Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). We affirm'the order insofar as it determined that Cole’s life- sentences on counts nine' -and '"ten of the information (imposed pursuant to a negotiated plea) were not illegal. Cole was sentenced to life imprisonment for two counts of attempted first-degree murder,- during which Cole was alleged to have used a firearm, thus reclassifying the offenses from first-degree to life- felonies. See §’ 775.087(l)(a), Fla. Stat.'(1989).-Independently, and as a violent habitual felony ■ offender, Cole was subject to a miaximum sentence of life in prison for each of these offenses.' See § 775.084(4)(b)l„ Fla. Stat. (1989).

As to Cole’s claim that the twenty-five year mandatory minimum sentences (imposed concurrently as part of the life sentences on counts nine and ten) are illegal, we note that Cole has completed this portion of his sentence, and is already eligible for parole. See Cole v. State, 786 So.2d 1203 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001),.We therefore dismiss this portion of the appeal as moot. See, e.g., State v. Ortiz, 79 So.3d 177 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012); Mathews v. State, 91 So.3d 142 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012); Maybin v. State, 884 So.2d 1174 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004).

Affirmed in part and dismissed in part. 
      
      . We also note that Cole was serving a concurrent twenty-five year mandatory minimum sentence on count eleven, a sentence not challenged by Cole as illegal.
