We proposed to affirm in a 2 calendar notice. We noted that the State bears the burden of establishing reasonable 3 suspicion to make a stop, and we proposed to hold that the district court could 4 determine whether there was sufficient support for the stop in this case. The State 5 informs this Court that it will not be filing a memorandum in opposition to our 6 calendar notice. We therefore affirm based on the discussion in our calendar notice. 7 IT IS SO ORDERED. 8 _______________________________ 9 RODERICK T.
