No. 09-2650.

650 F.3d 813 (2011)

UNITED STATES, Appellee, v. Melvin McGREGOR, Defendant, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided May 27, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William W. Fick , Assistant Federal Defender, Federal Public Defender Office, for appellant.

Mark T. Quinlivan , Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Carmen M. Ortiz , United States Attorney, was on brief, for appellee.

Before LYNCH, Chief Judge, BOUDIN and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.


THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.

Indicted as a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, Melvin McGregor moved to suppress evidence taken from a warrantless car search. After the district judge denied the motion, McGregor conditionally pled guilty, reserving his right to challenge the ruling on appeal. This is that appeal. We affirm, though our reasoning differs from the judge's on one issue.
