The STATE of Florida, Appellant/Cross-appellee, v. Gus JONES, Appellee/Cross-appellant.
    No. 92-351.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 4, 1992.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Ivy Ginsberg Shanock, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellant/cross-appellee.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Michael A. Voigt, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellee/cross-appellant.
    Before HUBBART, FERGUSON and COPE, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The State appeals a non-final order granting defendant Gus Jones’ motion to suppress evidence. We conclude that defendant had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the bag containing his personal belongings; that the display of the contents of the bag cannot be deemed purely private action in this instance, see 1 W. LaFave, Search & Seizure § 1.8(b) (1987); and that there was no applicable exception to the warrant requirement, merit in the cross-appeal. We find no

Affirmed.
