Opinion

Carley, Judge.

After a bench trial, appellant was found guilty of driving under] the influence. He appeals from the judgment of conviction and sen-j tence entered on the trial court’s finding of guilt.

Appellant’s enumerations of error relate only to the denial of hii pre-trial motion to suppress and only a transcript of the hearing o: that motion has been included in the record on appeal. “There bein; no transcript of the evidence adduced upon the [bench] trial, we ca: not determine whether the evidence sought to be suppressed was ac tually introduced . . . , and unless it was introduced, the overrulin¡ of the motion to suppress the evidence was harmless, even if erro: Under these circumstances, the case must be affirmed as to the all leged error in [not] suppresing the evidence. . . .
