Paul K. PRIDGEON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    Nos. 97-4874, 98-2139.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    July 29, 1999.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; Archie F. Gardner, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth; Attorney General; Sherri Tolar Rollison, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant Pridgeon asserts that key evidence should have been suppressed because the affidavit upon which a search warrant was based did not give probable cause for the warrant.

We are unable to reach the merits of Pridgeon’s argument because, although a motion to suppress was filed and a hearing was held on the issue, trial counsel at each of Pridgeon’s trials failed to object contemporaneously to introduction of the evidence and thereby failed to preserve the issue for appeal. See Terry v. State, 668 So.2d 954 (Fla.1996); Davis v. State, 728 So.2d 341 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999); Randall v. State, 718 So.2d 230 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998); Coffee v. State, 699 So.2d 299 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997).

AFFIRMED.
