Opinion

No. 77-69.

April 18, 1978. Rehearing Denied May 19, 1978.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; Richard S. Fuller, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Beth C. Weitzner, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen. and Arthur Joel Berger, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before HAVERFIELD, C.J., PEARSON, J., and CHARLES CARROLL (Ret.), Associate Judge.

PER CURIAM.

This appeal has been accepted by this court as a belated appeal pursuant to Baggett v. Wainwright, 229 So.2d 239 (Fla. 1969). The point presented urges error upon the admission of testimony which indicated defendant's involvement in a prior crime. We hold that the testimony met the test of relevancy set forth by the Supreme Court of Florida in Williams v. State, 110 So.2d 654 (Fla. 1959). See also Dempsey v. State, 238 So.2d 446 (Fla. 3d DCA 1970).

Affirmed.
