State v. Brown
State v. Brown
Opinion of the Court
The defendant, Jessie Brown, was convicted in the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska, of the offense of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and was sentenced to the custody of the Director of . the Department of Correctional Services for a term of 10 years. He has appealed his conviction and sentence to this court, assigning as error that certain evidence received in the trial of his case to the court, to wit, heroin, which had been obtained by the Omaha police department in a search of the premises at 1538 North 18th Street, Omaha, Nebraska, pursuant to a search warrant, was obtained in violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and therefore the trial court erred in overruling defendant’s motion to suppress the evidence, and in denying defendant’s motion for a new trial. Specifically, defendant attacks the validity of the search warrant involved in the search by the police, and the sufficiency of the affidavit which was the basis for the issuance of the search warrant. We affirm.
This is a companion case to State v. Graves and State v. Roach, 193 Neb. 797, 229 N. W. 2d 538 (1975), and the
Since this court has already upheld the sufficiency of the affidavit in question, there is no reason to reach a different result in this case. Defendant’s conviction must be affirmed.
Affirmed.
