Docket Number | No. 5236,5236 |
Citation | 10 Conn.App. 667,525 A.2d 139 |
Court | Connecticut Court of Appeals |
Parties | STATE of Connecticut v. Leonard BARRETT. |
Maxwell Heiman, with whom, on the brief, was William J. Tracy, Jr., Bristol, for appellant (defendant).
Judith Rossi, Deputy Asst. State's Atty., with whom, on the brief, was James G Clark, Asst. State's Atty., for appellee (state).
Before HULL, BORDEN and SPALLONE, JJ.
The defendant, reserving his right to appeal from the denial of his motion to suppress pursuant to General Statutes § 54-94a, 1 entered a written plea of nolo contendere to the charge of possession of cocaine in violation of General Statutes § 21a-279(a). On appeal, the sole issue is whether it was proper for the court to have denied the defendant's motion to suppress evidence based on an unreasonable search and seizure. General Statutes § 54-94a; State v. Madera, 198 Conn. 92, 101-102, 503 A.2d 136 (1985).
The trial court, Miano, J., filed a meticulous, complete and legally sound memorandum of decision in which the court found facts supported by the evidence and drew legal conclusions in conformity with applicable law. After examining the record and briefs of the parties, we conclude that no further articulation of the facts or law is required. See Faith Center, Inc. v. Hartford, 192 Conn. 434, 436, 472 A.2d 16, cert. denied, 469 U.S. 1018, 105 S.Ct. 432, 83 L.Ed.2d 359 (1984); 2 iHinchliffe v. American Motors Corporation, 192 Conn. 252, 253, 470 A.2d 1216 (1984); White Oak Corporation v. Department of Revenue Services, 2 Conn.App. 165, 166, 476 A.2d 639 (1984). Accordingly, the trial court memorandum of decision in State v. Barrett, 40 Conn.Sup. 547, 525 A.2d 558 (1987) should be referred to for a detailed discussion.
There is no error.
