  We use the Type Ia Supernova gold sample to constrain the parameters of dark
energy models namely the Cardassian, Dvali-Turner (DT) and generalized
Chaplygin gas (GCG) models. In our best fit analysis for these dark energy
proposals we consider flat and the non-flat priors. For all models, we find
that relaxing the flatness condition implies that data favors a positive
curvature; moreover, the GCG model is nearly flat, as required by Cosmic
Microwave Background (CMB) observations.
