Ted Phillips appeals his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm and an armed career criminal, 18 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 922(g)(1), 924(e)(1). A police officer discovered Phillips&#8217;s firearm while arresting him on a writ of bodily attachment &#8230;. Phillips argues that the firearm should have been suppressed, but we disagree. Writs of bodily attachment are \u2018Warrants\u2019 within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, U.S. Const. Amend. IV, so the officer found the firearm during a valid search incident to arrest.\u201d The common law supports this conclusion. <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ca11.uscourts.gov\/opinions\/pub\/files\/201414660.pdf\">United States v.
