Anthony ORICK, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 1D02-2973.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Jan. 21, 2004.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Paula S. Saunders and Gary D. Wimsett, Jr., Assistant Public Defenders, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Giselle Lylen Rivera, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We review the trial court’s order admitting similar fact evidence under the abuse of discretion standard. See Chandler v. State, 702 So.2d 186 (Fla.1997), cert. denied, 523 U.S. 1083, 118 S.Ct. 1535, 140 L.Ed.2d 685 (1998). We are assisted in that task by the thorough order entered by the trial judge. The factual conclusions in that order are supported by the evidence. Moreover, the trial judge’s decision to admit evidence pursuant to section 90.404(2), Florida Statutes, was well within the judge’s discretion.

AFFIRMED.

KAHN, WEBSTER, and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
