Guy v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

891 So. 2d 1193 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2005)

Opinion

No. 3D04-538.

February 2, 2005.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Israel Reyes, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Roy A. Heimlich, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Lucretia A. Pitts, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before COPE, GREEN and WELLS, JJ.


Stevens Guy entered a plea of nolo contendere to charges of possession of heroin, possession of cocaine, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Under the plea agreement, he reserved for appeal the denial of his motion to suppress evidence. We conclude that the motion to suppress was correctly denied. See State v. Gribeiro, 513 So.2d 1323 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987).

We remand for correction of the judgment, which erroneously indicates that the defendant-appellant Guy entered a plea of guilty. In reality, he entered a plea of nolo contendere. The defendant need not be present for the correction of the judgment.

Affirmed; remanded for correction of judgment.
