STATE OF OREGON, Appellant, v. JAMES B. THORNTON, Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Reversed and remanded for trial.

PER CURIAM

The trial judge's ruling in this criminal case that a police officer's request to see defendant's driver's license, after the officer had pulled in behind defendant's apparently-disabled vehicle, was an impermissible "stop" of defendant is incorrect, as is the court's order suppressing evidence based upon that conclusion. See State v. Kennedy, 290 Or. 493, 497, 624 P.2d 99 (1981).

The trial court order suppressing evidence is reversed, and the case is remanded for trial.
