Opinion by
Justice MOSELEY.
James Sunny Burton, having been charged with possession of less than one gram of methamphetamine, filed a motion to suppress evidence, claiming an unlawful search. The trial court denied suppression of the evidence. After a jury was empaneled, Burton announced that he would waive his right to a jury trial. The State did not acquiesce and Burton entered a plea of guilty to the offense, the evidence was stipulated, and Burton was found guilty by the jury. Submitting the issue of punishment to the court, he was sentenced to two years’ confinement. 1
