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, 

, 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
