1Opinion of the Court
McCLANAHAN, Judge.
Arrington was convicted, after a bench trial, of misdemean- or possession of marijuana. On appeal, he argues the marijuana was obtained during an illegal search and seizure in violation of his Fourth Amendment rights. Because Arrington failed to challenge the admissibility of the evidence obtained in the seizure, he is procedurally barred from raising this issue pursuant to Code § 19.2-266.2 and Rule 5A:18.
