TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
Gaetano Puglisi was indicted by a federal grand jury for possessing cocaine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (1976). He was tried by the court and found guilty. We reverse Puglisi's conviction because the cocaine which was introduced in evidence at trial and provided the basis for his conviction was seized from him in violation of the fourth amendment.
