67 F.3d 310 NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.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. George Robert TAYLOR, Defendant-Appellant. No. 94-30332. United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. Submitted Sept. 18, 1995. * Decided Sept. 22, 1995. Before: GOODWIN, WIGGINS, and O'SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges. 1 MEMORANDUM ** 2 George Robert Taylor appeals his conviction after entering a conditional guilty plea to possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922 (g)(1). Taylor contends that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress because: the stop was pretextual and was not based upon reasonable suspicion. We have jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 and we affirm. 3 We review de novo the district court's denial of a motion to suppress evidence. United States v. Flippin, 924 F.2d 163, 164 (9th Cir.1991). Similarly, we review de novo whether reasonable suspicion existed to stop a vehicle. United States v. Fouche, 776 F.2d 1398,…
