District Court of Appeal of Florida

When a defendant appeals an order suppressing evidence obtained by search and seizure, such order does not have to be entered in writing in order for appellate jurisdiction to be vested in a district court. Defendant's convictions for possession of heroin, possession of cannabis, and possession of drug paraphernalia are affirmed over a claim of erroneous denial of a suppression motion.
