vs.
The State of Florida,
Appellee.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Orlando A.
Prescott, Judge.
Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Deborah Prager, Assistant Public
Defender, for appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Asad Ali, Assistant Attorney General,
for appellee.
Before SALTER, MILLER, and LOBREE, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Materno v. State, 766 So. 2d 358, 359 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000)
(“While defendant claims there was a nondisclosure of one of defendant’s statements
to the detective who investigated the case, the record refutes this claim . . . [T]he
allegedly nondisclosed fact was included in his written report, which was given to
the defense.”); B.T.G. v. State, 694 So. 2d 767, 768 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (Although
“the statement itself was not provided to defense counsel, . . . notice of the contents
of the statement, . . . was on the back of the arrest report, which was provided as part
of discovery. Assuming, without deciding, that under these circumstances, a
Richardson1 inquiry was required, it would be harmless error in this instance. The
. . . substance of the statement had been furnished to the defense, so the defense was
not materially affected by not having the appellant’s statement.”).
