United States v. Caro

HENRY, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Efrain Caro was indicted on one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a). After an evidentiary hearing, the district court denied Mr. Caro’s motion to suppress evidence obtained following the stop of his vehicle. Mr. Caro subsequently entered a conditional plea of guilty, reserving his right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, vacate the denial of Mr. Caro’s motion to suppress, and remand for further proceedings.1
