     Case: 14-50794      Document: 00513151574         Page: 2    Date Filed: 08/12/2015

                                      No. 14-50794
PER CURIAM:*
       We have read the record, studied the briefs, and heard very capable
arguments from both parties.            We have concluded, in the light of our
precedents, that reasonable suspicion is not supported by the facts in this case.
Too many of the asserted bases for reasonable suspicion can plausibly be
explained as normal or innocent conduct; and from which, criminal suspicion
under the Fourth Amendment cannot convincingly be inferred. Accordingly,
the judgment of the district court is REVERSED and VACATED. The case is
REMANDED for entry of a judgment of acquittal.
                                        REVERSED, VACATED, and REMANDED
                                                       for entry of judgment.

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
