PER CURIAM:
Following his conviction and sentence for unlawful possession
of a weapon by a convicted felon, 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(g) (West 2000),
Rafael A. McLean appeals from the district court’s order denying
his motion to suppress evidence of his possession of a firearm. He
contends that the officer did not have reasonable suspicion to stop
him, and therefore the discovery of the gun was in violation of the
Fourth Amendment. We have reviewed the record on appeal and the
parties’ briefs and find no reversible error. See United States v.
Sokolow, 490 U.S. 1, 9 (1989). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order denying McLean’s motion to suppress. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
