Burgess v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided March 4, 2008No. A07A2240PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Phipps, Judge.

Robert Burgess appeals his convictions of methamphetamine manufacturing and trafficking, contending that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress the drug evidence. We find no error and affirm.

While the trial court’s findings as to disputed facts in a ruling on a motion to suppress will be reviewed to determine whether the ruling was clearly erroneous, where the evidence is uncontroverted and no question regarding the credibility of witnesses is presented, the trial court’s application of the law to undisputed facts is subject to de novo appellate review.
