1Opinion of the Court

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Defendant-appellant Steven Sealey was charged with a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Sealey filed a motion to suppress a firearm, a magazine, and ammunition which Sealey discarded while he was being pursued by Boston Police officers. The district court denied Sealey’s motion and, following trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict. Sealey now appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress. We affirm.
