FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D17-3574
                 _____________________________

CHRISTOPHER PITTMAN,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Jackson County.
Wade Mercer, Judge.

                         April 22, 2019

PER CURIAM.

     Christopher Pittman appeals his convictions for trafficking
in cocaine (400 grams or more) and trafficking in
methamphetamine (200 grams or more) arguing the trial court
erred in denying his motions for mistrial. Each of his two
motions sought a mistrial for improper testimony. We find no
abuse of discretion in the denial of the respective motions as
neither instance of allegedly improper testimony vitiated the
entire trial. See England v. State, 940 So. 2d 389 (Fla. 2006).

    Accordingly, the convictions are AFFIRMED.

WOLF, BILBREY, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
                _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
