No. 88-921.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Sept. 12, 1989.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Robert Kalter, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Before NESBITT, COPE and GERSTEN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant appeals her conviction of first degree murder on the ground that the State did not prove premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. We conclude that the facts of the present case satisfy the test for premeditation set forth in Tien Wang v. State, 426 So.2d 1004, 1005 (Fla. 3d DCA), review denied, 434 So.2d 889 (Fla.1983), and resemble the circumstances of Covington v. State, 302 So.2d 483 (Fla. 2d DCA 1974). See also Phippen v. State, 389 So.2d 991, 993 (Fla.1980).
Affirmed.
