    Alfonso WILLIAMS, Jr., Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D99-622.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Jan. 12, 2000.
    
      Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Robert Godfrey, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Steven R. Berger, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before JORGENSON, COPE, and FLETCHER, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The defendant appeals his conviction for grand theft auto and burglary of a conveyance claiming the state impermissibly struck a prospective juror. We affirm. It is within the trial court’s discretion to determine the propriety of the reasons for a peremptory strike. See Franqui v. State, 699 So.2d 1332 (Fla.1997), cert. denied 523 U.S. 1097, 118 S.Ct. 1582, 140 L.Ed.2d 797 (1998); State v. Holiday, 682 So.2d 1092 (Fla.1996). The record supports a race-neutral reason for the peremptory strike, and thus there is no error. See Plaza v. State, 699 So.2d 289, 290 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997).

AFFIRMED.
