S.H., a Juvenile, Appellant, v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

S.H., a Juvenile, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D19-0496

Decided: February 26, 2020

Before SALTER, MILLER, and LOBREE, JJ.

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.

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 Richardson ¹ 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.”).
