STATE of Minnesota, Appellant, v. Christopher D. SUMMERS, Respondent.
    No. 47670.
    Supreme Court of Minnesota.
    April 28, 1978.
    Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., Thomas L. Fabel, Deputy Atty. Gen., Craig H. Foreman, Special Asst. Atty. Gen., St. Paul, D. P. Mattson, County Atty., Rochester, for appellant.
    C. Paul Jones, Public Defender, St. Paul, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

This appeal from a pretrial suppression order was consolidated for decision with the appeal in State v. Lien, Minn., 265 N.W.2d 833 filed herewith. In fact, a joint suppression order was issued by the district court which applied to both cases. Further, the facts are nearly identical in both cases, and the issues are the same. Accordingly, our decision in State v. Lien governs our disposition of this case.

Reversed and remanded for trial.

WAHL, Justice
