No. 97-2640
Before COPE, LEVY and SHEVIN, JJ.
727 So. 2d 275 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1999) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm defendant’s conviction and sentence finding no error in the trial court’s denial of the suppression motion. Bruno v. State, 574 So. 2d 76 (Fla.), cert. denied, 502 U.S. 834, 112 S.Ct. 112, 116 L.Ed.2d 81 (1991). In so doing, we hold that Thompson v. State, 705 So. 2d 1046 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), is inapplicable. Even if we were persuaded that admission of testimony based on documents that were not in evidence under the business records hearsay exception is error, any such error is harmless in light of the defendant’s confession and the overwhelming evidence of guilt.

Affirmed.
