Description
BURKE, Justice. OPINION. David Schmid was convicted of possession of marijuana for sale and distribution in violation of AS 17.12.010. He now appeals that conviction raising the issues of nondisclosure of a confidential informant, probable cause to arrest, the search and seizure of two suitcases, the prosecutions failure to bring allegedly exculpatory evidence before the warrant magistrate, and the superior courts consideration of his failure to cooperate with the police as a factor in sentencing. With regard to the issues raised by appellant, we remand the case to the superior court for the purpose of conducting an in camera hearing on the issue of nondisclosure of the confidential informant and to allow the superior court to state the weight given in sentencing to the defendants lack of cooperation. On these issues we retain jurisdiction. On the other issues that he has raised, we affirm.
