Jenkins v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 27, 1968 · Barkdull, Carroll, Hendry
207 So. 2d 304; 1968 Fla. App. LEXIS 5905 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Jenkins v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a conviction and sentence on a charge of issuing a worthless check. Appellant seeks reversal on the ground that the trial judge, in a non-jury trial, adjudicated him guilty before his counsel had announced that he had rested his case, thereby depriving him of his right to present a closing argument.

We have reviewed the record and considered the point on appeal in the light of the holdings in Willoughby v. State, Fla.App.1967, 203 So.2d 10; Williams v. State, Fla.App.1967, 201 So.2d 484; Hall v. State, 119 Fla. 38, 160 So. 511. It is our conclusion that no reversible error has been made to appear.

Affirmed.
