Docket entry

101357 Smith v. Commonwealth 03/04/2011 In an appeal from a conditional guilty plea after denial of a motion to suppress evidence, in which the defendant/appellant failed to file the suppression hearing transcript in the time required by Rule 5A:8, the Court of Appeals was not deprived of appellate jurisdiction to consider the case, and the defendant effectively waived his contention regarding the suppression motion by failing to timely make the required filing. The judgment upholding the defendant's convictions is affirmed.
