STATE v. BYNES

No. 79-1287.

392 So.2d 310 (1980)

STATE of Florida, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Solomon BYNES, Appellee/Cross-Appellant.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied February 4, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David H. Bludworth, State Atty. and Moses Baker, Jr., Asst. State Atty., West Palm Beach, for appellant/cross-appellee.

Joseph A. Murphy, III, of the Law Offices of W. George Allen, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee/cross-appellant.


PER CURIAM.

The state brings this appeal from an order suppressing physical evidence found in the defendant's wife's purse. We reverse.

Defendant and his wife were jointly charged with possession of cocaine. Only Solomon Bynes, however, moved to suppress the cocaine which had been found in his wife's purse. The trial court granted the motion, apparently applying the "automatic standing" rule of Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257
