1Opinion of the Court
MAXWELL, JUSTICE, FOR THE COURT:
¶ 1. Garrett Eugene Ray's appointed appellate counsel filed a Lindsey brief, certifying she had thoroughly examined the record and found no arguable issues supporting Ray's appeal. 1 Ray has opted to file a pro se brief. In it, he argues the crack cocaine found in a cigarette pack he tried to discard when approached by officers was unlawfully obtained.
