STATE of Maine v. David FILIEO.
    Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.
    Submitted on Briefs March 14, 1988.
    Decided March 17, 1988.
    Janet T. Mills, Dist. Atty., Patricia Reynolds, Asst. Dist. Atty., Auburn, for the State.
    David Filieo, pro se.
    Before McKUSICK, C.J., and NICHOLS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, SCOLNIK and CLIFFORD, JJ.
   MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

David Filieo appeals the judgment of the Superior Court (Androscoggin County) affirming the District Court (Lewiston) judgment that he had violated 22 M.R.S.A. § 2383 (1980) (civil possession of marijuana). Contrary to Filieo’s only contention on appeal, we conclude that the motion judge’s finding that the police officer had a reasonable and articulable suspicion sufficient to justify an investigatory stop was not clearly erroneous. See State v. Cyr, 501 A.2d 1303, 1305-06 (Me.1985); State v. Chapman, 495 A.2d 314, 317-18 (Me.1985).

The entry is:

Judgment affirmed.

All concurring.
