United States Second Circuit

Conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is affirmed over claims of error that: 1) the district court erred in concluding that police had reasonable suspicion to stop and frisk defendant pursuant to Terry v. Ohio and in denying defendant's motion to suppress handgun that was recovered in the frisk; and 2) the district court abused its discretion and violated defendant's Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights with trial ruling that curtailed defendant's cross-examination of government witnesses.
