Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Eriberto Ramos appeals his convictions for various drug and

firearm offenses following a bench trial. Specifically, Ramos chal-

lenges the district court's denial of his motion to suppress evi-

dence allegedly obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment. We

agree with the district court's assessment that the officers who
stopped Ramos and conducted a patdown search had reasonable suspi-

cion for doing so. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 21, 27 (1968). As
Ramos has raised no other objections to his conviction, we affirm.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
