United States v. Milton Henry

JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

Milton Henry appeals his convictions of possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of marihuana, contending that all of the evidence should have been suppressed.

Because the officers’ interpretation of the law was objectively reasonable, we affirm.
