State of Tennessee v. Steven David Catalano
Syllabus
The Appellant, Steven David Catalano, entered a plea of nolo contendere to driving under the influence (DUI), reserving a certified question of law challenging whether a be-on-the-lookout report (BOLO) issued by a Brentwood police officer provided sufficient probable cause or reasonable suspicion to justify a Franklin police officer's traffic stop of the Appellant's vehicle. The State contends that the question presented is not dispositive therefore, this court is without jurisdiction to consider the appeal. Upon review of the record and the parties' briefs, we agree with the State and conclude that the appeal must be dismissed.
