    Marco Antonio COOPER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 91-1739.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Feb. 3, 1993.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Cherry Grant, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Patricia G. Lampert, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant argues correctly that the trial court erred by giving the “flight” jury instruction under the prohibition set forth in Fenelon v. State, 594 So.2d 292 (Fla.1992).

We conclude that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla.1986).

We further find no error in the trial court again sentencing appellant to five and one-half years imprisonment on remand. North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed.2d 656 (1969) is inapplicable here.

AFFIRMED.

POLEN, J., and SEIDLIN, LARRY, Associate Judge, concur.

DELL, J., concurs specially with opinion.

DELL, Judge,

concurring specially.

I agree with the majority’s conclusion that the giving of the “flight” instruction constituted harmless error.

The record contains overwhelming evidence of appellant’s guilt. Within fifteen minutes after the robbery, the victim and an eyewitness identified appellant as the robber. The police found the bag of money and a semiautomatic pistol along the path where they had chased appellant. After the police found appellant hiding under a car, he told them he had thrown the bag of money into the canal. I also agree that appellant has failed to demonstrate error in the sentence imposed by the trial court.
