Dan Cloer has appealed his misdemeanor conviction for DUI arising from a bench trial. His sole argument is that the court erred in denying his motion to suppress the evidence obtained by an officer at a roadblock. The trial court based its ruling on evidence received at a hearing on the motion to suppress. Although Cloer in his initial notice of appeal asked that the transcript from the hearing be included in the record on appeal, he amended that notice to exclude the transcript.

In his appellate brief, Cloer challenges as unsupported by evidence the court’s findings that the officer was acting with supervision pursuant to department policy, that the delay caused by the roadblock was minimal, and that the roadblock was well identified. Cloer complains that the officer had no plan for the roadblock and “provided no methodology to the court” as to how he conducted the roadblock. “He simply pulled over the cars he wanted to.” Cloer complains further that “there was no evidence recited by the court as to how long the delay lasted.” Finally, Cloer argues that the evidence showed the roadblock was not well-identified.
