United States v. Cintron, No. 11-1625 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was charged with being a possession of a firearm and moved to suppress the firearm seized from him during a traffic stop. The district court denied the motion without a hearing, concluding that the seizure was justified under the plain view doctrine. Defendant subsequently filed a motion to reconsider and a second motion to suppress the firearm, requesting evidentiary hearings on both motions. After a non-evidentiary hearing, the district court denied both motions. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying an evidentiary hearing on Appellant's motion to reconsider and second motion to suppress.
