United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 922(g) is affirmed where, contrary to defendant's argument that the seizure of the firearm from his coat pocket stemmed from a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights, the record developed during the suppression hearing amply supported a conclusion that the "stop and frisk" in this case was reasonable.
