United States First Circuit

Conviction for possession of counterfeit securities and possession of a firearm by an illegal alien is affirmed where: 1) the fact that defendant lived in a separate basement apartment at the address listed on a search warrant did not invalidate the warrant since the police used all of the information reasonably available to them to secure as particularized a warrant as possible; 2) the police had probable cause to associate seized firearms with criminal activity; and 3) the government presented sufficient evidence to allow a jury to find all the elements of counterfeiting.
