COTTRELL v. STATE (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Willy James COTTRELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D21-2180

Decided: July 13, 2022

Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and Joel Arnold, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

In this Anders ^* appeal, taken after a no contest plea, the only reserved issue is whether the trial court's denial of Appellant's motion to suppress was correct. We affirm because the trial court's ruling was based on a credibility determination that was supported by the evidence. See State v. Polak, 598 So. 2d 150, 152 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992).

Affirmed.
