United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided January 29, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Linda L. Mullen (argued), Attorney, Office of the United States Attorney, Rock Island, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Robert A. Alvarado (argued), Attorney, Office of the Federal Public Defender, Peoria, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before MANION and ROVNER, Circuit Judges, and COLEMAN, District Judge.


ROVNER, Circuit Judge.

After a Ruger nine-millimeter pistol was discovered in the waistband of his pants in the course of a stop and frisk, Robert W. Patton was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Patton moved to suppress evidence relating to the gun, contending that the officer who frisked him lacked a reasonable suspicion that he might be armed. See Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1
