Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 18, 2018
242 So. 3d 539 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Timothy Jones appeals his convictions for possession of cocaine and paraphernalia. We reject his argument that the trial court erred in denying a motion to suppress. However, because Jones was found incompetent to proceed a year and a half before his trial, and the record does not contain a subsequent order finding him competent, we reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this Court's opinion in Cotton v. State , 177 So.3d 666, 668-69 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).

REVERSED and REMANDED .

Ray, Makar, and Winsor, JJ., concur.
