Howard v. State

Howard v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 22, 1990 · Gersten, Levy, Nesbitt
561 So. 2d 462; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 3643; 1990 WL 67324 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Howard v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Calvin Louis Howard, appeals his convictions for burglary of a structure and resisting an officer with violence. We affirm.

Absent proof of actual reliance by the jury, the standard of fairness applies and the burden remains on appellant to prove the alleged error resulted in an unfair trial. See Harrell v. State, 405 So.2d 480 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981).

The record in this case does not reveal a reasonable probability that any extrinsic material could have affected the verdict. See U.S. v. Vasquez, 597 F.2d 192 (9th Cir. 1979). Accordingly, we affirm.

Affirmed.
