Present: WARNER, C.J., DREBEN, & IRELAND, JJ.

WARNER, C.J.

The only issue presented by this appeal is whether information provided by a confidential informant, buttressed by independent police corroboration, provided sufficient information to establish probable cause for a search.1 The defendant's motion to suppress the cocaine found in the search was denied. After a jury trial in the Superior Court, he was convicted of trafficking in cocaine.
