Description
Petitioner Leslie Mathe seeks review of his conviction on two counts of first degree robbery while armed with a deadly weapon and firearm. Petitioner alleges the convictions are based on evidence seized illegally during a search of his bedroom. The Court of Appeals held the search was valid because it was authorized by the consent of a third party -- petitioner's landlord. We hold that the landlord did not have authority to consent to a search of petitioner's room. We conclude, however, that the in-court identifications were made independent of the violation of petitioner's Fourth Amendment and Const. art. 1, § 7 rights. Petitioner's convictions are therefore affirmed. State v. Mathe, 35 Wash. App. 572, 668 P.2d 599 (1983).
