SUMMARY ORDER

ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court be and it hereby is AFFIRMED.

The United States appeals the decision of the District Court to suppress a firearm seized from defendant Marion Frampton on the grounds that the firearm was seized during a detention of the defendant that violated the Fourth Amendment. Possession of the suppressed firearm is the basis for this prosecution pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), 924(a)(2), and we review the suppression of evidence at this time pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3731.

After careful consideration of the arguments advanced by both parties, we affirm the District Court’s suppression of the weapon substantially for the reasons stated in the District Court’s thoughtful Memorandum Decision and Order dated August 29, 2001. We note that the factors cited by the government as providing a basis for probable cause, even when viewed in tandem, see U.S. v. Arvizu, 534 U.S. 266, 122 S.Ct. 744, 751-52, 151 L.Ed.2d 740 (2002), do not provide such a basis. None of the factors pointed to by the government here (unlike in Arvizu) relate to the defendant’s behavior.2 In the words of the District Court, “there was nothing about Defendant’s demeanor or his behavior sufficient to warrant a reasonable suspicion that Defendant [was], ha[d] been, or [was] about to be engaged in criminal activity.” The factors relied upon by the government amount to little more than guilt by reputation and association, and do not amount to “a reasonable, particular suspicion that criminal activity is afoot.” Illinois v. Wardlow, 528 U.S. 119, 123, 120 S.Ct. 673, 145 L.Ed.2d 570 (2000).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
