Heading: suppression of faber's statements

Text: Faber also argues that the district court erred in failing to suppress the statements Faber made to law enforcement. Faber argues that his statements were made after being confronted with evidence obtained during the purported illegal search of Faber's apartment and thus should be suppressed as `fruit of the poisonous tree' under Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 488, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963). Faber's argument is without merit for two reasons. First, the search of Faber's apartment was valid, as stated above, and thus any statements produced by evidence obtained during that search are not fruit of the poisonous tree. Furthermore, this argument is not properly before this court. In his motion to suppress filed in district court, Faber asserted, inter alia, that his statements were the product of his allegedly invalid arrest warrant. Faber now asserts that the statements were the product of an allegedly invalid search warrant. The district court never considered whether Faber's statements were the product of an allegedly invalid search warrant. When an issue is raised for the first time in an appellate court, it will be disregarded inasmuch as a lower court cannot commit error in resolving an issue never presented and submitted to it for disposition. In re Adoption of Luke, 263 Neb. 365, 640 N.W.2d 374 (2002).
