Opinion

No. 98-956.

October 21, 1998.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Lester Langer, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Suzanne M. Froix, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Fredericka Sands, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before JORGENSON, GREEN and FLETCHER, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Given the totality of the circumstances, we conclude that the school official had reasonable suspicion to conduct a search of the appellant juvenile. See New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325, 341-43, 105 S.Ct. 733, 83 L.Ed.2d 720 (1985); A.S. v. State, 693 So.2d 1095, 1095 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997); State v. D.T.W., 425 So.2d 1383, 1386-87 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983). We therefore, find no error in the trial court's denial of the appellant's motion to suppress.

Affirmed.
