No. F-91-1086.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Oklahoma.
April 9, 1992.
Rehearing Denied May 15, 1992.
ORDER
Appellant, J. Gerardo Solis-Avila, was conviсted by a jury of Count I—Possession of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute, in violation of
Pursuant to Rule 11.3, Rules of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals,
Appellаnt raised only one issue on appeal, that being whether the trial court committed fundamental error by denying appellant‘s motion to suppress after finding that the nighttime execution of the search warrant was improрer.

The police were looking for cocaine, marijuana, and paraphernalia connected with the consumption and distribution of the same, which they found. The trial court found that there was not enough of a factual bаsis stated in the affidavit to justify the nighttime execution of the search warrant.

I must respectfully dissent to the Court‘s decision in this casе. It appears the Court, as well as the trial court, has misread and misapplied the plain language of
Search warrants shall be served during the hours of six o‘clock a.m. to ten o‘clock p.m., inclusive, unless the affidavits bе positive that the property is on the person, or in the place to be searched and the judge finds thаt there is likelihood that the property named in the search warrant will be destroyed, moved or concealed. In which case the judge may insert a direction that it be served at any time of the day or night. (emphasis added)
The statute requires the affidavit to be positive that the property is on the person or place tо be searched. The affidavit in this case met that pleading criteria. The second part does not requirе a formal
