STEWART, Circuit Judge:

This case involves the issue of whether a suspect's Fourth Amendment rights were violated when police conducted a pat-down search of his outer clothing and subsequently arrested him for possession of crack cocaine, which the officer could identify by feeling through the defendant's clothing. Finding no error in the district court's denial of defendant's motion to suppress evidence of the drugs, we AFFIRM.
