    Before JORGENSON, LEVY and GODERICH, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in not permitting the defense to peremptorily challenge prospective juror Martinez or in allowing the State to use a peremptory challenge to exclude prospective juror Minnis. See State v. Slappy, 522 So.2d 18, 22 (Fla.), cert. denied, 487 U.S. 1219, 108 S.Ct. 2873, 101 L.Ed.2d 909 (1988); State v. Neil, 457 So.2d 481 (Fla.1984), clarified sub nom. State v. Castillo, 486 So.2d 565 (Fla.1986). Accordingly, we affirm the defendant’s conviction.
