¶1The State of Connecticut’s petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 17 Conn. App. 385, is granted, limited to the following issues:

¶2“Did the Appellate Court err in concluding that the seizure of the car keys used to unlock the van where the drugs were stored was not inadvertent and thus did not qualify as a plain view seizure?
