PEOPLE v. CURRIE

PER CURIAM.

Defendant was arrested by Detroit police on July 9, 1973, for driving without a valid driver's license, MCLA 257.904; MSA 9.2604. The police officers searched the defendant at the time of her arrest; defendant was first taken to the 13th Precinct Police Station, and then to police headquarters, where a police matron conducted a thorough search and discovered an item in the crotch of the defendant's panties which proved to contain 7.35 grams of marijuana. Defendant was charged with possession of marijuana, MCLA 335.341(4)(d); MSA 18.1070(41)(4)(d), and bound over on the charge.

A motion to suppress was granted by the recorder's court judge on January 10, 1974, on the basis of illegal search and because defendant should have been given the opportunity to be released on bond, pursuant to MCLA 780.581; MSA 28.872(1). The matter is brought to this Court by the people by claim of appeal.

We have this session heard People v Olivet Martin, 59 Mich. App. 471; 229 N.W.2d 809 (1975), and have determined that the people are not authorized to file a claim of appeal but must come into this Court by application for leave to appeal.

In this matter we have treated the pleadings as an application for leave to appeal and grant same. However, we have examined the facts and findings by the trial court and hold that the case is controlled by People v Dixon, 392 Mich. 691; 222 N.W.2d 749 (1974).

The dismissal is affirmed.
