Opinions
The sole issue concerns the refusal of the District Court to suppress narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia seized in a warrantless search of the automobile occupied by appellants. The agent’s prior experience with the informant, and the information provided by the informer describing the appellants, their travel plans, the locale in which they were expected to purchase narcotics, their automobile (make, color and license number), bring this case within Draper v. United States, 358 U.S. 307, 79 S.Ct. 329, 3 L.Ed.2d 327 (1959).
Affirmed.
