Search and Seizure
Consent; actual authority

Jaffer Deane appeals a judgment convicting him of possessing more than forty grams of cocaine with intent to deliver. Deane entered a no contest plea after the court denied his motion to suppress evidence found in his bedroom in his parents’ home. He argues the evidence should have been suppressed because his parents lacked actual or apparent authority to consent to the search and their consent was not voluntary. We conclude Deane’s parents had actual authority to consent to the search and their consent was voluntary. Therefore, we need not address apparent authority and we affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
