The relevant facts, drawn from the motion judge’s findings, ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‍are set forth in the Appeals Court’s opinion. See id. at 454-455. After careful review of the findings and ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‍consideration of the arguments from both sides, we affirm the denial of the motion to suppress, for essentially ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‍the same reasons stated by the motion judge in her memorandum of decision and by the Appeals ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‍Court in its opinion. In the totality of the circumstances found by the judge, there was reasonable ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‍suspicion to justify the stop of the defendant.

Judgment affirmed.
