Head Matter:
STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Laurine NESS, Appellee.
No. 97-2873.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Jan. 14, 1998.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Carol Cobourn Asbury, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robin M. Molan of Law Offices of Larry S. Davis, P.A., Hollywood, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The state appeals an order granting the defendant's motion to suppress pursuant to State v. Riley, 638 So.2d 507 (Fla.1994). The evidence at the suppression hearing established that the defendant was stopped after she had committed a traffic violation for which she was properly ticketed. Therefore, Riley is inapplicable.
We reverse the suppression order and remand for further proceedings.
DELL and STEVENSON, JJ., and OWEN, WILLIAM C., Jr., Senior Judge, concur.
