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