37 F.3d 1507 NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Ray PARRA-OSUNA, Defendant-Appellant. No. 94-50049. United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. Submitted Oct. 4, 1994. * Decided Oct. 6, 1994. Before: BROWNING, FARRIS and LEAVY, Circuit Judges. 1 MEMORANDUM ** 2 Ray Parra-Osuna appeals his conviction for conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Secs. 846 and 841(a)(1). Parra-Osuna entered a conditional guilty plea to the charge, preserving his right to appeal the district court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a warrantless search of his vehicle. He claims the district court erred in denying his motion because his investigatory detention amounted to a de facto arrest for which there was no probable cause. We review de novo motions to suppress and determinations of the presence or absence of probable cause. United States v. Prieto-Villa,…
