M. A. JENKINS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 66-859.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.
    Feb. 27, 1968.
    Robert L. Koeppel, Public Defender, and Edward J. Winter, Jr., Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    
      Earl Faircloth, Atty. Gen., and Jesse J. McCrary, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before CHARLES CARROLL, C. J., and BARKDULL and HENDRY, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a conviction and sentence on a charge of issuing a worthless check. Appellant seeks reversal on the ground that the trial judge, in a non-jury trial, adjudicated him guilty before his counsel had announced that he had rested his case, thereby depriving him of his right to present a closing argument.

We have reviewed the record and considered the point on appeal in the light of the holdings in Willoughby v. State, Fla.App.1967, 203 So.2d 10; Williams v. State, Fla.App.1967, 201 So.2d 484; Hall v. State, 119 Fla. 38, 160 So. 511. It is our conclusion that no reversible error has been made to appear.

Affirmed.
