Massachusetts Appeals Court August 30, 1990, No. 89-P-1457 (Commonwealth v. Farinon)

The defendant was convicted of trafficking in more than 200 grams of cocaine. On appeal, he alleges error in the denial of his motion to suppress on the grounds that the search of a closed container seized from his automobile was conducted by police without probable cause and required a warrant. We affirm.

We summarize the facts obtained from a stipulation of the parties.
