James ANDERSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 78-884.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    June 6, 1979.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and John M. Conway, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joy B. Shearer, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

DOWNEY, C. J., and DAUKSCH, J., concur.

ANSTEAD, J., dissents with opinion.

ANSTEAD, Judge,

dissenting:

The appellant was convicted of grand larceny. The only defense attempted to be offered was by the testimony of an expert witness that the market value of the goods in question was less than $100.00. The trial court had previously granted the motion of the appellant to appoint an expert to appraise the value of the goods stolen. However, at trial the court refused to allow the expert to testify. I think this was reversible error.
