17 MEMORANDUM OPINION
18 VANZI, Judge.
1 {1} Defendant appeals to this Court following a district court opinion affirming a
2 sentencing order entered in metropolitan court following his conditional plea to a DUI
3 charge. This Court issued a calendar notice proposing to affirm on the basis that the
4 appellate issue raised by Defendant was not preserved below. Defendant has filed a
5 memorandum in opposition to that proposed disposition.
6 {2} In that memorandum, Defendant continues to argue that the metropolitan court
7 should have suppressed the testimony of a DRE officer. Because Defendant entered
8 a conditional plea, however, no trial took place, and no testimony was received from
9 the DRE officer at issue. Because that testimony was never proffered by either party,
10 there is no record upon which this Court could make an informed decision regarding
11 the admissibility of that testimony. Defendant’s memorandum in opposition does not
12 assert that the issue he seeks to raise here was preserved below or otherwise suggest
13 how this Court could determine the admissibility of testimony that was never received.
14 {3} Consequently, for the reasons stated in this Court’s notice of proposed
15 disposition, we affirm Defendant’s conviction.
16 {4} IT IS SO ORDERED.
