HAMPTON v. STATE

No. 80-789.

401 So.2d 918 (1981)

Gene HAMPTON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

July 29, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and John R. Cullom, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Ondina Felipe, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We have considered the applicability of the Supreme Court's recent holding in Estelle v. Smith, ___ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 1866, 68 L.Ed.2d 359 (1981), to the proceedings below. We conclude that the error if any, in admitting a psychiatrist's report and a transcript of a competency hearing into evidence at the sentencing phase of defendant's trial was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
