Opinion

No. 98-3211.

Opinion filed August 10, 1999.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Peter Fryefield, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, Glenna Joyce Reeves, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Denise O. Simpson, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We find the facts in this case indistinguishable from those in United States v. Washington, 151 F.3d 1354 (11th Cir. 1998), and therefore reverse the denial of appellant's motion to suppress and remand with directions to vacate appellant's conviction for trafficking in cocaine.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
