STATE of Oregon, Respondent On Review, v. Jesus Jose Fletes ALVAREZ, Petitioner On Review.

Supreme Court of Oregon, In Banc.

Decided June 27, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ingrid A. MacFarlane, Salem, argued the cause for petitioner on review. With her on the petition was Gary D. Babcock, Public Defender of Oregon, Salem.

Janet A. Klapstein, Asst. Atty. Gen., Salem, argued the cause for respondent on review. Also on the response were Dave Frohnmayer, Atty. Gen., and Virginia L. Linder, Sol. Gen., Salem.

CARSON, Justice.

This case concerns whether information from an unnamed informant was sufficiently reliable to support a determination of probable cause to issue a search warrant. Along the way, we decide whether a declaration against penal interest contributed to the reliability of the informant's information when the informant did not realize that he or she was speaking to a person cooperating with the police.
