816 F.2d 958 (1987)

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Jeffrey Scott ALPERT, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Decided April 21, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles F. Atwood, III, on brief for appellant.

Max Cogburn, Jr. (Charles R. Brewer, U.S. Atty., Jerry W. Miller, Asst. U.S. Atty., on brief) for appellee.

Before WIDENER and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and HAYNSWORTH, Senior Circuit Judge.


WIDENER, Circuit Judge:

Jeffrey Scott Alpert appeals from his conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Alpert contends that the cocaine found in his briefcase should have been suppressed as evidence because the search of his briefcase was tainted by violation of the principles of the Terry line of cases.1 We disagree, and affirm the judgment of conviction.
