U.S. v. TAYLOR

No. 06-2687.

511 F.3d 87 (2007)

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Robert E. TAYLOR, Defendant, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided December 21, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William T. Murphy, by appointment of the Court, for appellant.

Donald C. Lockhart, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Lee H. Vilker, Assistant United States Attorney, and Robert Clark Corrente, United States Attorney, were on brief for appellee.

Before BOUDIN, Chief Judge, SELYA and STAHL, Senior Circuit Judges.


STAHL, Senior Circuit Judge.

Robert E. Taylor appeals his conviction on one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, arguing that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress the firearm seized from him during a brief investigatory stop by members of the Providence, Rhode Island, police force. We find no error in the district court's denial of the motion to suppress and therefore no grounds to vacate Taylor's conviction.
