RANEY v STATE OF FLORIDA
    Case No. 86-155-AC (County Court Case No. 41726MB)
    Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Appellate Division, Dade County
    June 22, 1988
    APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    David K. Tucker for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Julie S. Thorton, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before NADLER, KAYE, ROBINSON, JJ.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

ROBINSON, STEVEN D., J.

In this case the Defendant appeals after entering a no contest plea without having established on the record the dispositiveness of the denial of his pretrial motion to suppress. This he cannot do. State v. Carr, 438 So.2d 826 (Fla. 1983). As in another case citing this principle, Weber v. State, 492 So.2d 1167 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986), the Trial Court incorrectly told the defendant he could appeal. However this only will allow the defendant a basis to move to set aside the plea.

This Court also notes that there seems to be no abuse of discretion in the Trial Court’s denial of the Motion to Suppress.

Affirmed.
