Supreme Court of California

A court of appeals' reversal of a judgment of conviction for possession of a controlled substance is reversed where the court of appeal erred in simply reversing the judgment outright pursuant to People v. Sanders 31 Cal.4th 318 (2003), rather than remand for a new suppression hearing.
