CASE NO. 3D00-1474 ** vs. ** LOWER TRIBUNAL NO. 99-1382 ** ** Opinion filed August 15, 2001. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Ronald C. Dresnick, Judge. Philip L. Reizenstein and Kenneth L. Weisman, for appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Jill K. Traina, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before JORGENSON, GODERICH, and SHEVIN, JJ. PER CURIAM. Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction and sentences for armed robbery with a firearm. We affirm. We find no error in the trial court's conduct of the Neil and Melbourne1 inquiries attendant to the State's peremptory challenge of a venire member, and the defendant's objection to that challenge. See Heggan v. State, 745 So. 2d 1066, 1068 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) (holding that where transcript of voir dire clearly indicates that judge accepted state's valid proffered neutral reason peremptory challenge, "compliance with to support exercise of Melbourne analysis does not require the incantation of magical words."). Finding no merit in the remaining points on appeal, we affirm. AFFIRMED. 1 Melbourne v. State, 679 So. 2d 759 (Fla. 1996); State v. Neil, 457 So. 2d 481 (Fla. 1984). -2-
