Opinion filed November 26, 1997. Order Denying Rehearing November 26, 1998.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Ronald V. Alvarez, Judge; L.T. Case No. CJ 91-300499 JK PC.

Karen Martin, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

The points raised on rehearing were not properly preserved in the trial court. Even if preserved, we would deem the errors, if any, harmless in view of the record evidence supporting the trial court's termination of parental rights. Finally, we find no merit in appellant's argument that the trial court should have conducted a hearing on appellee's alleged discovery violation pursuant toRichardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1971). Appellant did not ask for a Richardson hearing. More importantly, the rules of juvenile procedure do not provide for a Richardson hearing. See Fla. R. Juv. P. 8.245(g). Accordingly, we deny appellant's motion for rehearing.
