State v. Clifton
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 19, 2014 · Altenbernd, Larose, Northcutt
135 So. 3d 449; 2014 WL 1051968; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 3967 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Clifton

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The State appeals the trial court’s order granting Joseph Michael Clifton’s motion to suppress evidence and statements. We have jurisdiction. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(c)(B)(l). We reverse the trial court’s order pursuant to our decision in State v. Mitchell, 124 So.3d 1046 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) (holding that defendants lack standing to seek suppression relating to jurisdictional defects of coconspirator’s arrest where they had no legally cognizable privacy interest in fraudulent prescriptions and evidence developed therefrom), and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

ALTENBERND, NORTHCUTT, and LaROSE, JJ., Concur.
