State v. Smith
Louisiana Court of Appeal
1Opinion of the Court
JUDE G. GRAVOIS, Judge.
|2Pefendant, Eric Smith, appeals his conviction of possession of cocaine. On appeal, he argues that the trial court unduly restricted his ability to test the affidavit of the search warrant, which he alleges relied exclusively upon the credibility of an informant. Defendant also requests an errors patent review. Finding no merit to defendant’s arguments on the merits, we affirm defendant’s conviction. Finding errors patent that require correction, we remand the matter to the trial court with instructions, as detailed below.
