The search targets the final state where only one top quark decays to an electron or muon, resulting in a signature with three leptons e $\mu$$\mu$and $\mu$$\mu$mu. No significant excess of events above the Standard Model expectation is observed and upper limits are set on two signal models: pp -> tta and pp -> tt with t -> H(perpendicular to)b, H-perpendicular to -> W(perpendicular to)a, where a ->mu mu, in the mass ranges 15 GeV
