United States Second Circuit

Conviction of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is affirmed where: 1) U.S. marshals had no obligation to obtain defendant's consent after defendant's live-in girlfriend consented to the search; and 2) because defendant did not object, his girlfriend's consent was valid and the search was reasonable.
