[¶ 1] Arder Prinkleton appeals from the judgment of the Unified Criminal Docket (Franklin County, Mullen, J.) finding him guilty of unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs (Class B), 17-A M.R.S. § 1103(1-A)(A)' (2017), and ordering a criminal forfeiture, 15 M.R.S. § 5826 (2017), following a conditional guilty plea, see M.R.U. Crim. P. 11(a)(2). On appeal, Prinkleton argues that the motion court (Stokes, J.) erred by applying the inevitable discovery doctrine to deny his motion to suppress evidence of drugs found on his person before the issuance of a search warrant. We affirm'the judgment.
