FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D16-4167 _____________________________ RAYMOND LAMONT CUMMINGS, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ___________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County. J. Scott Duncan, Judge. February 20, 2018 PER CURIAM. Appellant pleaded no contest to several drug charges and resisting an officer. He had been a passenger in a car stopped by police, and he gave a false name, disobeyed instructions to stay in the car, and ran off. Officers apprehended him and found drugs. In pleading no contest, Appellant reserved his right to appeal the trial court’s order denying his motion to suppress. His sole argument on appeal is that officers had no basis to detain him when they stopped the vehicle in which he was riding. But as he acknowledges in his reply brief, the recent Florida Supreme Court decision in Presley v. State forecloses this argument. 227 So. 3d 95 (Fla. 2017), cert. denied, No. 17-7139, 583 U.S. __ (Feb. 20, 2018). AFFIRMED. JAY, WINSOR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Brenda L. Roman, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Samuel B. Steinberg, Assistant Attorney General, for Appellee. 2
