Head Matter:
Patrick D. KOHN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 88-1711.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
March 15, 1989.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Carol J. Bickerstaff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Carolyn V. McCann, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Pizzoferrato v. State, 518 So.2d 992 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988). We believe the record supports the trial court's conclusion that prior to the time the police searched appellant's bag, the police had articulable suspicion sufficient to detain appellant, and that the appellant at that point voluntarily abandoned the bag and disclaimed any connection to it.
HERSEY, C.J., and DOWNEY and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
