PITTMAN v. STATE (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Christopher PITTMAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D17-3574

Decided: April 22, 2019

Michael Ufferman, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Anne C. Conley, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Christopher Pittman appeals his convictions for trafficking in cocaine (400 grams or more) and trafficking in methamphetamine (200 grams or more) arguing the trial court erred in denying his motions for mistrial. Each of his two motions sought a mistrial for improper testimony. We find no abuse of discretion in the denial of the respective motions as neither instance of allegedly improper testimony vitiated the entire trial. See England v. State, 940 So.2d 389 (Fla. 2006).

Accordingly, the convictions are Affirmed.

Per Curiam.

Wolf, Bilbrey, and Winsor, JJ., concur.
