   MEMORANDUM

Horacio Estrella-Avina appeals from his guilty plea conviction and sentence for being an alien in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(b)(5)(B) and 924(a)(2). We have jurisdiction to review the district court’s denial of Estrella-Avina’s motion to suppress under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.

The district court properly denied the motion to suppress because the police officer who stopped Estrella-Avina had reasonable suspicion to justify the traffic stop. The district court did not err in characterizing the officer’s conduct in stopping Estrella-Avina as a mistake of fact. See United States v. Miguel, 368 F.3d 1150, 1153 (9th Cir.2004); cf. United States v. Lopez-Soto, 205 F.3d 1101, 1106 (9th Cir. 2000).

AFFIRMED.
