February 7, 1996. Rehearing Denied March 27, 1996.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Rodolfo Sorondo, Jr., Judge.

Anthony Adams, in pro per.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Paul Gayle-Smith, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE and LEVY, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Anthony Adams appeals an order denying his motion for post-conviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We conclude that the second element of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), has not been satisfied, namely, even if defense counsel had taken the additional steps identified in appellant's motion, there is no reasonable probability that the trial outcome would have been different. See 466 U.S. at 694, 104 S.Ct. at 2068.

Affirmed.
