United States v. Alfredo Jiminez Flores
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
FARRIS, Circuit Judge:
Alfredo Flores appeals his conviction for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, a violation of 18 U.S.C. App. § 1202(a)(1) (1976).
The firearm was discovered during a search of Flores’ apartment for evidence that another convicted felon, Douglas Bontempi, was committing the same crime. Flores’ primary contention is that there was insufficient evidence to support the search warrant which sought evidence that Bontempi illegally possessed firearms. Flores also contests the admissibility of a letter in which his attorney admitted Flores’ ownership of the gun. We affirm.
