PER CURIAM.

2
Affirmed. 	See Jordan v. State, 143 So. 3d 335, 340 (Fla. 2014)
(“Although the resentencing here was not a ministerial act, the error is still
harmless because Jordan is serving a concurrent, true life sentence on the
burglary count and will suffer no practical consequences as a result of being
resentenced 	in 	his 	absence 	on 	the 	robbery 	count. 	Under 	these
circumstances, Jordan is not entitled to relief.”); Weford v. State, 784 So. 2d
1222, 1224 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001) (“Prior sentencing as a youthful offender
does 	not 	preclude 	consideration 	of 	defendant’s 	crimes 	as 	predicate
offenses.”); see also id. (“Additionally, while the sentences for the prior
predicate offenses introduced into evidence by the state were all imposed on
November 	11, 	1991, 	the 	sequential 	conviction 	requirement 	of 	section
775.084(5) is inapplicable to our analysis. 	Only one predicate offense was
necessary for the trial court to adjudicate defendant as a habitual violent
felony offender. See § 775.084(1)(b).”).
