    No. BF-437.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    July 18, 1986.
    Rehearing Denied Sept. 10, 1986.
    Michael E. Allen, Public Defender, and Glenna Joyce Reeves, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Barbara Ann Butler, Asst. Atty. Gen., Jacksonville, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

While we affirm the final judgment and sentence of the trial court, we cannot overlook the prosecutor’s improper comments during closing argument. We commend to the trial judge the use of swift and firm remedial action against counsel who engage in improper argument before a jury.

AFFIRMED.
