¶3Before BARKDULL, NESBITT and LEVY, JJ.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5Even though the trial court may have committed a "Neil"[1] error as to the proper inquiry upon a preemptory challenge of a proposed juror, any such error was waived when after the entire jury panel was selected and before being sworn, both the defendant and his counsel accepted the jury as seated.[2]Joiner a/k/a John Blue v. State,*842593 So.2d 554 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992). No merit is found in the identification argument, Ray v. State,159 Fla. 101, 31 So.2d 156 (Fla. 1947); Taylor v. State,199 So.2d 517 (Fla. 3d DCA 1967), therefore, the verdicts, adjudications and sentences hereunder review, are affirmed.
