PER CURIAM:

     Leroy Green appeals from a 240-month sentence imposed fol-

lowing his conditional guilty plea for conspiracy to possess with

the intent to distribute and to distribute crack cocaine, 21 U.S.C.

§ 846 (1994).   Finding no reversible error, we affirm.

     Green claims that the district court erred when it denied his

motion to suppress.   We have reviewed the record and find, from a

totality of the circumstances, that Green’s inculpatory statements

to the police were voluntary.   See 18 U.S.C. § 3501(b); see also

United States v. Braxton, 

, 780-81 (4th Cir. 1997).   We

therefore find that the district court did not err in denying

Green’s suppression motion and using these statements in deter-

mining Green’s relevant conduct for sentencing.    Accordingly, we

affirm Green’s conviction and sentence.     We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.
