Abstract
This Court granted cert to decide whether a partially corroborated anonymous informer's tip provided probable cause for the issuance of a warrant. At Conference a majority voted to hold that the warrant was valid, but also expressed interest in exploring a good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule. The Court restored the case to the calendar so this question could be briefed and argued.
