Affirmed by published opinion. Judge MOTZ wrote the majority opinion, in which Judge KING joined. Judge GREGORY wrote a dissenting opinion.


A jury found Lavelle Stover guilty of possession of a firearm as a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (2012). On appeal, Stover challenges the district court's denial of his motion to suppress the firearm as the fruit of an illegal seizure. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
