Opinion

GILBERT, P. J.

Gary Allen Sugarman appeals a judgment after pleading guilty to driving under the influence with a prior (Veh. Code, §§ 23152, subd. (a), 23550.5), a felony, and admitting two prior felony convictions (§ 23152). We conclude that the highway patrol officer did not violate the Fourth Amendment by requiring Sugarman to take a blood test at a hospital after Sugarman frustrated the officer’s attempts to conduct a breath analyzer test. The trial court properly denied Sugarman’s motion to suppress the results of the blood test. We affirm.
