¶1James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Clayton R. Kaeiser, Special Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

¶2Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Danilo Cruz-Carino, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

¶3LaROSE, Judge.

¶4Jose Oscar Perez, Jr., appeals his conviction for second-degree murder with a firearm. He argues that the trial court erroneously denied his new trial motion after the prosecutor asked a question that Mr. Perez claims improperly shifted the burden of proof to the defense. Mr. Perez failed to preserve this issue for appeal; he did not move for a mistrial after the trial court sustained his objection to the question and gave a curative instruction. See Sloan v. State,438 So.2d 888, 890 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983); Newton v. S. Fla. Baptist Hosp.,614 So.2d 1195, 1196 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993). We also conclude that no fundamental error occurred at trial. See Maddox v. State,760 So.2d 89, 95-96 (Fla. 2000).

¶5Affirmed.
