8 Div. 528.

406 So.2d 456 (1981)

Britton Dale TERRELL v. STATE.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama.

October 27, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Clark E. Johnson, III, Arab, for appellant.

Charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen., and J. Thomas Leverette, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


BOWEN, Judge.

The defendant was convicted of the theft of property in the first degree. He was sentenced under the Habitual Felony Offender Act to life imprisonment. Alabama Code 1975, Section 13A-5-9.

On appeal, the defendant contends that the Habitual Felony Offender Act is unconstitutional because it "excludes offenses involving drugs from the operation of the ... Act, thereby treating similarly situated persons differently from the Appellant."
