1Opinion of the CourtSaufley, C.J.
[¶ 1] The State of Maine, with the approval of the Attorney General, see 15 M.R.S. § 2115-A(1), (5) (2015);1 M.R. App. P. 21(b), appeals from an order of the court (York County, Driscoll, J.) granting Robert I. Boyd Jr.’s motion to suppress evidence obtained by drawing his blood and testing it for alcohol without obtaining a search warrant. The State challenges the court’s determination that the State failed to prove that Boyd consented to the blood draw, and argues that the search of Boyd’s blood did not violate the Fourth Amendment. We affirm the order of suppression.
