We search for charmless decays of charged B mesons to the three-body final state B[superscript +]-->K[subscript s] [superscript 0] K[subscript s] [superscript 0] pi[superscript +]. Using a data sample of 423.7  fb[superscript -1] collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector, corresponding to (465.1±5.1)×10[superscript 6] BB[over-bar] pairs, we find no significant signal and determine a 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction of 5.1×10[superscript -7].
