STATE v. BERRIOS

No. 85-852.

478 So.2d 890 (1985)

The STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Willie BERRIOS and Reinaldo Morales, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

December 3, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Randi Klayman Lazarus, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellant.

Guy W. Turner, Miami, for appellees.

Before BARKDULL, HUBBART and BASKIN, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

We find that the state failed to meet its burden of proof so as to require reversal under New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 101 S.Ct. 2860, 69 L.Ed.2d 768 (1982). There is no evidence in the record that the hatchback portion of the Mustang, in which the police found the paper bag containing cocaine, was accessible from the interior of the car. The state's remaining points lack merit.
