WHITE v. STATE (2002)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Fourth District.

Marvin A. WHITE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D01-4281.

Decided: November 20, 2002

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and David John McPherrin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Richard E. Doran, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sue Ellen Kenny, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

White appeals from the denial of a motion to suppress his confession. Although White entered a nolo plea specifically reserving his right to appeal, the motion is not dispositive. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(b)(2)(A)(i)(2000); Brown v. State, 376 So.2d 382 (Fla.1979); Weber v. State, 492 So.2d 1166 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986); Werner v. State, 828 So.2d 499 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002). In the absence of a dispositive motion or a stipulation by the parties to that effect, we must dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. See Weber, 492 So.2d at 1167.

DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM.
