Appellant contends that his Penal Code Section 1538.5 motion should have been granted since the warrantless intrusion into his residence was for law enforcement purposes and not parole administration. He also contends he was denied a fair trial because the prosecution was allowed to control the course *476 of the trial in a manner which prevented him from having adequate opportunity for cross-examination and evidence presentation; the trial court improperly restricted presentation of pertinent medical evidence and the informant’s identity was not disclosed.
