CHARLES VOLK, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2000-03-08
No. 4D98-4455

754 So. 2d 82 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2000) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court’s “standard response” to the jury’s request for the defendant’s testimony was error. See Rigdon v. State, 621 So. 2d 475 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993); Huhn v. State, 511 So. 2d 583 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987); Roper v. State, 608 So. 2d 533 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992). However, in this ease we find the error to be harmless. See Goodwin v. State, 751 So. 2d 537 (Fla.1999); Gonzalez v. State, 624 So. 2d 300 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993); Farrow v. State, 573 So. 2d 161 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).

AFFIRMED.

DELL, POLEN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
