UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Malcolm Dexter BULLOCK, Defendant-Appellant, 48 F. App'x 912

OPINION PER CURIAM. Malcolm D. Bullock pled guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and one count of possession with intent to distribute five grams or more of cocaine base. Bullock challenges the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress, contending that the police officer’s investigation exceeded the scope of the traffic stop and that the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to conduct a patdown.

We review determinations of reasonable suspicion de novo and the underlying facts under the clearly erroneous standard, giving due weight to inferences drawn from those facts by resident judges and local law enforcement officers. United States v. Sprinkle, 106 F.3d 613, 616-17 (4th Cir. 1997). Upon our review, we find that the officer’s very brief questions in the context of a one-minute traffic stop which was occupied with traffic stop procedures did not exceed the scope of the stop. See United States v. Jeffus, 22 F.3d 554, 556-57 (4th Cir.1994); United States v. Sha bazz, 993 F.2d 431, 436 (5th Cir.1993).

We further conclude that based on the totality of the circumstances, the officer had reasonable suspicion to conduct a patdown of Bullock. See United States v. Swann, 149 F.3d 271, 275-77 (4th Cir.1998); United States v. Raymond, 152 F.3d 309, 312 (4th Cir.1998). We reject Bullock’s assertion that there remains an unresolved factual dispute below as the record reflects that the district court credited the officer’s version of the patdown. Finally, we decline to take judicial notice of the map printed in Appellant’s brief as it was not before the district court. Accordingly, we affirm Bullock’s conviction.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED.
