Syllabus

Following no contest plea, defendant's challenge to warrants to search two locations overruled and judgment of conviction affirmed. Defendant did not make the preliminary showing required to demonstrate that he was entitled to a hearing challenging the truth of the statements in the search warrant affidavit pursuant to Franks v. Delaware, trial court did not err in refusing to order state to disclose identities of confidential informants prior to trial where the evidence provided by those informants was not directly related to the elements of the offenses with which defendant was charged and convicted, and trial court did not err by overruling defendant's motions to suppress based on stale information. Even assuming warrants probable cause, officers who executed the warrants were entitled to rely in good faith on magistrate's determination of probable cause in facially valid warrants. Assignments of error overruled and judgment affirmed.
