JACK WILSON MERCHANT, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1985-09-10
No. BE-210
BOOTH, C.J., and JOANOS, J., concur.
474 So. 2d 1274 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1985) Positive Treatment
Cited by 12 cases

Opinion of the Court
MILLS, Judge.

MILLS, Judge.

This is an appeal from an adjudication of guilty for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The public defender has submitted an Anders brief. Merchant has not submitted a pro se brief, although given the opportunity. We affirm.

After review of the record, the transcript of the suppression hearing and the transcript of a motion for new trial, we find no cause to overturn the trial judge. The credibility of witnesses on a motion to suppress is solely a matter of judicial discretion and there is sufficient evidence to support the court’s finding of consent to search.

BOOTH, C.J., and JOANOS, J., concur.
