JOHN R. STYLES, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed April 1, 2005 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Stan W. Strickland, Judge. James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Leonard R. Ross, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allison Leigh Morris, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. SHARP, W., J. Styles appeals from his judgment and sentence for possession of cocaine,1 after a jury trial. He argues the evidence presented by the state was insufficient to show he had dominion and control over the cocaine and, at most, only showed his proximity. Thus, his conviction must be reversed. We disagree and affirm. Case No. 5D04-2313
