Before BARKDULL, DANIEL S. PEARSON and FERGUSON, JJ.
438 So. 2d 936 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1983) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the defendant’s conviction for robbery with a firearm upon holdings that (1) assuming, arguendo, that the physical line-up procedure employed by the police was unnecessarily suggestive, this procedure did not give rise to a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification of the defendant under the circumstances of this case, see Grant v. State, 390 So. 2d 341 (Fla.1980); and (2) the denial of the defendant’s in-trial motion for a continuance was not a palpable abuse of discretion, see Jent v. State, 408 So. 2d 1024 (Fla.1981), cert. denied, 457 U.S. 1111, 102 S.Ct. 2916, 73 L.Ed.2d 1322 (1982), where the motion was made to procure the attendance of an alibi witness who had not been subpoenaed by the defense and whose testimony at best would be cumulative, see Durcan v. State, 350 So. 2d 525 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977).

Affirmed.
