Jack Wilson MERCHANT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. BE-210.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Sept. 10, 1985.
    Michael E. Allen, Public Defender, P. Douglas Brinkmeyer, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., John M. Koenig, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee,
   MILLS, Judge.

This is an appeal from an adjudication of guilty for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The public defender has submitted an Anders brief. Merchant has not submitted a pro se brief, although given the opportunity. We affirm.

After review of the record, the transcript of the suppression hearing and the transcript of a motion for new trial, we find no cause to overturn the trial judge. The credibility of witnesses on a motion to suppress is solely a matter of judicial discretion and there is sufficient evidence to support the court’s finding of consent to search.

BOOTH, C.J., and JOANOS, J., concur.
