Supreme Court of Florida.

July 3, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Louis G. Carres, Asst. Public Defender, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, West Palm Beach, for petitioner.

OVERTON, Justice.

This is a petition to review State v. Fontana, 566 So.2d 937 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990), in which the district court reversed a trial court's order suppressing cocaine found on the passenger's side of a car and held that the passenger, Fontana, had no standing to challenge the search. We find conflict with Griggs v. State, 565 So.2d 361 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990).
