RIVES, Circuit Judge
(specially concurring):
I think that Nunn did have standing to contest the seizure of his pickup truck. The government so conceded on the hearing of the motion to suppress (Appendix pp. 94 — 95), and I think properly so. The government further conceded on the hearing of the motion to suppress that the seizure occurred when the officer signaled for the truck to stop (Appendix p. 41). Footnote 1 to the majority opinion is in accord with that concession. I cannot justify an actual seizure on a mere anonymous tip. I reach the same result, however, under all of the circumstances of this case by holding the stop of the truck to be a mere brief investigative stop under the authorities cited in Footnote 2 to the majority opinion. On that ground I concur in the judgment of affirmance.
