1Opinion of the Court
SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.
The United States appeals the order of the district court 1 granting a motion to suppress ten kilograms of cocaine found during the search of Christian AlvarezManzo’s bag. This evidence led to Alvarez-Manzo’s indictment for possession with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1). The district court suppressed the evidence, and we affirm its order.
