PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See State v. Schopp, 653 So. 2d 1016 (Fla. 1995) (holding that harmless error analysis set out in State v. DiGuilio, 491 So. 2d 1129 (Fla. 1986) applies to trial court’s failure to conduct Richardson hearing); Austin v. State, 199 So. 3d 327, 329 n. 5 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016) (noting that “even if the trial court's ruling was erroneous, we find the failure to conduct a Richardson hearing was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt”) (citing Schopp, 653 So. 2d 1016). See also Ryan v. State, 390 So. 3d 86, 87 n.2 (Fla. 3d DCA Dec. 13, 2023).
