Eva RAMIREZ, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 82-857.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Oct. 11, 1983.
    Entin, Schwartz, Dion & Sclafani, Miami, and Spencer D. Levine, North Miami Beach, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Richard E. Doran, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before BARKDULL, NESBITT and JORGENSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm defendant Eva Ramirez’s convictions and the sentences entered thereon upon a holding that a defendant who voluntarily absents herself during the course of the trial proceedings cannot later be heard to complain, without a proper and timely objection during the course of the proceedings, of procedural irregularity. See Clark v. State, 363 So.2d 331 (Fla.1978); State v. Melendez, 244 So.2d 137 (Fla.1971); Fla.R. Crim.P. 3.180(a), (b).

Affirmed.
