PER CURIAM: Kaiser Cornelius Jones appeals his conviction, pursuant to a conditional guilty plea, for possession or a firearm by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(g)(1) (West Supp. 1999). Jones re- served in is plea agreement the right to appeal the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress. Finding no error, we affirm. We agree with the district court’s conclusion that the police officers who seized a firearm from Jones’s person following a stop and frisk and protective search possessed “specific and articulable facts prompting a reasonable suspicion that the defen- dant Jones engaged in criminal activity and was armed and danger- ous.” Therefore, there was no constitutional violation. See United States v. King, 119 F.3d 290 (4th Cir. 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions of the par- ties are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
