Following denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a search warrant, defendant Jorge L. Gomez entered a guilty plea to second-degree possession of a firearm during the commission of a controlled dangerous substance ("CDS") offense, N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4.1(a). He was sentenced to five years in prison with a minimum forty-two months of parole ineligibility pursuant to the Graves Act, N.J.S.A. 2C:43-6(c). Defendant contended that the search warrant application did not allege criminal conduct, and in the absence of allegations of the specific quantity of CDS, law enforcement needed to allege that defendant had been warned for a first offense of distributing marijuana before the search warrant could be issued. The court reviewed the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act ("CREAMMA"), codified in relevant part at N.J.S.A. 24:6I-31 to -56; and N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5 to -10, and concluded the legislature did not intend to alter how police conduct investigations of those illegally distributing marijuana or alter the probable cause requirement for obtaining search warrants. As a result, the court affirmed denial of defendant's suppression motion and affirmed his conviction.
