1Opinion of the Court
PECK, Senior Circuit Judge.
This case raises the question of the meaning of the “inadvertence” requirement of the plain view exception to the warrant requirement, as set out in Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L.Ed.2d 564 (1971). The district court granted the defendant’s motion to exclude evidence seized from his home, and the Government has appealed, contending that the district court applied the wrong standard when it concluded that the discovery of the narcotics was not inadvertent. We agree, and reverse the district court’s suppression order.
