It means that someone has filed a "motion to suppress" certain evidence in a Maryland criminal case, probably the defendant. The prosecutor will have to file a response or "answer" to the defendant's motion to suppress. If you want more information, you will need to provide more facts about your situation.

When either party in litigation files a motion, the opposing party files an answer or response. In this case the defense is moving to exclude evidence that the state wants to use.

Do not post specific details that may identify you, because you might lose the privilege of confidentiality. If somehow the state were to find such information it could be used against you. If you have additional questions, I offer a free initial consultation.
