US v. Goodwin-Bey, No. 09-1317

Defendant's firearm possession conviction is affirmed where the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress the gun at issue because an earlier incident report regarding a vehicle resembling defendant's, along with the number of the vehicle's occupants, sufficiently implicated officer safety concerns to justify a search incident to arrest.
