Case No. 4D01-4281

Opinion filed November 20, 2002

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Marvin U. Mounts, Judge; L.T. No. 01-001728 CF A02.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and David John McPherrin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Richard E. Doran, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sue-Ellen Kenny, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

White appeals from the denial of a motion to suppress his confession. Although White entered a nolo plea specifically reserving his right to appeal, the motion is not dispositive. See Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(b)(2)(A)(i) (2000); Brown v. State, 376 So.2d 382 (Fla. 1979); Weber v. State, 492 So.2d 1166 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986); Werner v. State, 2002 WL 31374626 (Fla. 3d DCA Oct. 23, 2002). In the absence of a dispositive motion or a stipulation by the parties to that effect, we must dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. See Weber, 492 So.2d at 1167.

DISMISSED.

KLEIN, STEVENSON and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.

NOT FINAL UNTIL THE DISPOSITION OF ANY TIMELY FILED MOTION FOR REHEARING.
