UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
For the Fifth Circuit
No. 02-40702
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
VERSUS
ISIDRO RAMIREZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Southern District of Texas
Laredo Division, Criminal Action No. L-02-26
Before DAVIS, CYNTHIA HOLCOMB HALL* and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:**
The only significant issue presented in this appeal is whether
the district court erred in finding that the Trooper (Officer Jose
Ramirez) had reasonable suspicion to stop appellant for violating

state traffic laws. We conclude that the finding was not clearly
erroneous and was supported by substantial evidence. It follows
that the officer’s search did not violate appellant’s 4th Amendment
rights and the district court correctly denied his motion to
suppress.
AFFIRMED.
