United States v. Belin

KAYATTA, Circuit Judge.

King Belin was convicted at trial of being' a felon in possession of a firearm and sentenced to seventy-one months’ imprisonment. He raises two issues on appeal: whether there was reasonable suspicion for the stop-and-frisk that resulted in the discovery of the firearm, and whether the district court erred by allowing him to direct his attorney not to pursue certain factual lines of defense at trial. We conclude that the stop-and-frisk was lawful and that the district court did not err in the way it resolved Belin’s dispute with his attorney.
