OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) A judge rejected two arguments by prosecutors trying to justify a search of the home of Portland Trail Blazers guard Damon Stoudamire in which a large bag of marijuana was found.

Judge John Lowe said Tuesday there was no legal justification for the search that turned up marijuana behind an attic access door in Stoudamire's home.

Lowe also ruled there was no express or implied consent to search the home just because Stoudamire had installed an alarm system.

The decision could lead to the dismissal of the case. Lowe did not say when he would rule.

Police, responding to a burglar alarm at Stoudamire's home in suburban Lake Oswego on Feb. 23, found the front door ajar, searched the home and discovered the marijuana.

The Lake Oswego officials will wait for Lowe's ruling before deciding whether to appeal.
