State v. Christian

Washington Supreme Court

Decided May 28, 1981No. 47264-5PublishedCited by 54 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Stafford, J. —

Arthur Christian, Jr., appealed a conviction of unlawful possession of a controlled substance. The sole issue present in the petition for review is whether the trial court erred in denying Christian's motion to suppress evidence seized from his apartment during a warrantless search. We affirm the trial court and the Court of Appeals.

The findings of fact entered following the suppression hearing are not challenged. Thus, we accept them as verities on appeal. Riley v. Rhay, 76 Wn.2d 32, 454 P.2d 820, cert. denied, 396 U.S. 972, 24 L. Ed. 2d 440, 90 S. Ct. 461 (1969).
