PER CURIAM.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Lisa D. Campbell, Judge.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Peter Koclanes, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant. David T. Weisbrod, Tampa, for Appellee Joy Ford.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Maureen E. Surber, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellees Ashley Machin, Richard Fink, Anthony Sierra, Yoedel Hernandez, and Rick Menendez.

No appearance for Appellee Jason Castellanos.

The State appeals the trial court's order granting a motion to suppress evidence and statements in the cases of Jason Castellanos, Ashley Machin, Richard Fink, Anthony Sierra, Joy Ford, Yoedel Hernandez, and Rick Menendez. We have jurisdiction. SeeFla. R.App. P. 9.140(c)(1)(B). We reverse the trial court's order pursuant to our decision in State v. Mitchell, 124 So.3d 1046 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) (holding that defendants lack standing to seek suppression relating to jurisdictional defects of coconspirator's arrest where they had no legally cognizable privacy interest in fraudulent prescriptions and evidence developed therefrom), and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded. ALTENBERND, NORTHCUTT, and LaROSE, JJ., Concur.
