Orville A. TAYLOR, Appellant.
No. 90-3289.
United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.
Nov. 22, 1991.

Before HARRY T. EDWARDS, SILBERMAN and STEPHEN F. WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
JUDGMENT
PER CURIAM.
Advertisement
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the briefs filed by the parties. The court has determined that the issues presented occasion no need for a published opinion. See D.C.Cir.Rule 14(c). It is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that appellant's conviction be affirmed. The indictment listed all the elements of the offense with which appellant was charged. According to the police officer's testimony, which the district court found credible, Taylor was not questioned in circumstances that would cause a reasonable person, innocent of any wrongdoing, to feel he was not free to terminate the encounter. Under governing precedent, therefore, no fourth amendment seizure occurred. See Florida v. Bostick, 111 S.Ct. 2382, 2386 (1991); United States v. Lewis, 921 F.2d 1294, 1297-98 (D.C.Cir.1990). The district court's further determination that appellant voluntarily consented to the search of his person is similarly supported by the record.
The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C.Cir.Rule 15.
