State v. Knight

District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the Court

FULMER, Chief Judge.

We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction and explain our reasoning. In this appeal, the State seeks review under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(c)(1)(B) of an order granting a motion to suppress evidence.'
