PER CURIAM.
We reverse the suppression of the cocaine found as a result of the search of appellee’s bag, as the appellee denied ownership of the bag prior to the search. Since Appellee effectively abandoned the bag, the search of the bag was not unlawful and the evidence found therein was lawfully seized. State v. Brown, 412 So.2d 24 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982); United States v. Carrasquilla, 877 F.2d 73 (D.C.Cir.1989).
