Head Matter:
Jimmy Lee WRIGHT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 86-1531.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Aug. 11, 1987.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Feiler & Feiler and Loree Rene Feiler, Sp. Asst. Public Defenders, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Margarita Muina Febres, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HENDRY and BASKIN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The trial court's admission of hearsay in the police officer's testimony concerning the alleged victim's description of the defendant was error; we conclude, however, that the error was harmless because the officer's testimony impeached rather than bolstered the victim's testimony, and thus, under the standards of State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla.1986), no prejudice appears. Silveira-Hernandez v. State, 495 So.2d 914 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986). Appellant's other point lacks merit.
Affirmed.
