323 So. 2d 293 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1975)

Opinion

No. 75-406.

December 9, 1975.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; Arden Siegendorf, Judge.

Phillip A. Hubbart, Public Defender, and Paul Morris, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Joel D. Rosenblatt, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before HENDRY, HAVERFIELD and NATHAN, JJ.


Appellant, James Evans, appeals his conviction and sentence entered pursuant to a jury verdict finding him guilty of possession of cocaine. He was sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary.

The sole issue presented to us for consideration in this case is whether the arrest and search were based on probable cause. We have carefully considered Evans' argument on appeal and have concluded that no reversible error has been shown. See State v. Profera, Fla.App. 1970, 239 So.2d 867 and State v. Knapp, Fla.App. 1974, 294 So.2d 338.

Affirmed.
