Robert A. WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 85-1247.

District Court of Appeal of Florida,

Third District.

April 22, 1986.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, for Dade County; Edward D. Cowart, judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, Joel Hirschhorn and Andrew Cotzin, Sp. Asst. Public Defenders, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Calianne P. Lantz, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before BARKDULL, BASKIN and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Defendant Robert Williams raises two points in his appeal from judgment of conviction of second-degree murder and a sentence of fifteen years imprisonment. Under the facts of this case, we discern no abuse of discretion in the trial court's decision to permit rebuttal testimony and to deny Williams's request to present surrebuttal evidence. Gandy v. State, 440 So.2d 432 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983). The remaining point lacks merit.

Affirmed.
