1Opinion of the CourtJustice LaVECCHIA
At issue in this appeal is the validity of a third party’s consent to search an adult household member’s bedroom. The trial court denied defendant’s motion to suppress the evidence seized as a result of the warrantless search; however, the Appellate Division reversed, concluding that the on-the-scene law enforcement officer had not obtained a valid authorization to enter and inspect items in defendant’s bedroom and interior closet. We granted the State’s petition for certification and now affirm the Appellate Division judgment.
