Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DERRICK L. FIELDS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 5:05-CR-50046-ALL
--------------------
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Derrick L. Fields appeals his conviction for being a felon
in possession of a firearm and for possessing a stolen firearm.
He argues that the district court erred when it denied his motion
to suppress evidence of the firearm, which was seized pursuant to
a search warrant. Because the affidavit supporting the search
warrant was more than a “bare bones” affidavit, the officers who
executed the warrant relied on it in good faith, and evidence of
the firearm was admissible. See United States v. Satterwhite,
980 F.2d 317, 320-21 (5th Cir. 1992).
