Watson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Feb 25, 1976
327 So. 2d 112 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1976)

Opinion

No. Y-237.

February 25, 1976.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Volusia County; Uriel Blount, Jr., Judge.

Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, and David J. Busch, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Carolyn M. Snurkowski, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


We have carefully read the record and briefs. It is well settled that normally an appellate court must confine itself to a review of only those questions which were before the trial court and upon which a ruling adverse to the appealing party was made. ( State v. Barber, Sup.Ct.Fla. 1974, 301 So.2d 7) Appellant's counsel, the public defender, has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). We have accordingly searched the record to discover any fundamental error and find none. (Please see 28 C.J.S.Supp. Drugs and Narcotics § 208, p. 307, and United States v. Graham, 5th Cir. 1972, 464 F.2d 1073, cert. den. 409 U.S. 987, 93 S.Ct. 341, 34 L.Ed.2d 252 (1973)).

Affirmed.

BOYER, C.J., and RAWLS and McCORD, JJ., concur.
