Stevens v. State
Stevens v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant Elaine Stevens was charged with both purchase and possession of cocaine. It is undisputed that the two offenses involved a single quantity of cocaine. Therefore the trial court erred in denying appellant’s motion to dismiss the possession charge. Lewis v. State, 545 So.2d 427 (Fla. 2d DCA), jurisdiction accepted, 550 So.2d 467 (Fla. 1989).
Following an adverse ruling on her motion appellant entered a plea of no contest. Adjudication of guilt was withheld
Apart from the cost provision the sanction imposed for purchase of cocaine is not challenged on appeal and is affirmed.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with instructions.
