Opinion

DEVINE, P. J.

This petition is one in which the issue is that of search of the person of the driver of a motor vehicle who has been arrested for an offense which justified the arresting officer to bring him before a magistrate. The search of petitioner, Morel, produced a bottle of 77 capsules of Secobarbital, a drug which it is forbidden to possess without a physician’s prescription. (Health & Saf. Code, § 11910.) Petitioner’s motion, under Penal Code section 1538.5, to suppress the evidence was denied and this petition for writ of mandate followed. We granted an alternative writ.
