Opinion

No. 84-285.

July 18, 1984.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Sarasota County; Vincent T. Hall, Judge.

Robert B. Bennett, Jr., Sarasota, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and William I. Munsey, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Defendant pled no contest to possession of cannabis and phentermine. She reserved the right to appeal the trial court's denial of her motion to suppress.

We find that the inventory search of defendant's purse, which yielded the contraband, was proper. See State v. Barth, 434 So.2d 19 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983); State v. Forbes, 419 So.2d 782 (Fla. 2d DCA 1982). Accordingly, we reject the points raised by defendant.

Judgment and sentence affirmed.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
