Although we believe the trial court erred in considering and rejecting a proffer of evidence made by the state in the absence of the appellant, we have concluded that such error was harmless beyond any reasonable doubt and, accordingly, we affirm the appellant’s conviction. See Francis v. State, 413 So.2d 1175 (Fla.1982).
ANSTEAD and BERANEK, JJ., and C0-CALIS, PATRICIA W., Associate Judge, concur.
