PER CURIAM:

            Vernon Andre Jackson appeals from his conviction for

possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine,

for which he received a 108-month sentence.             Finding no error, we

affirm.

            Jackson’s sole contention on appeal is that the district

court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence.                  Legal

conclusions underlying the denial of a motion to suppress are

reviewed de novo and factual findings are reviewed for clear error.

Ornelas   v.    United   States,   

,   699   (1996);   United

States v. Rusher, 

, 873 (4th Cir. 1992).

            We have fully reviewed the materials submitted by the

parties, including the transcript of the suppression hearing and

the district court’s opinion, and find no error in the district

court’s   order    denying   in    part   Jackson’s     motion   to   suppress

evidence.      Accordingly, we affirm.      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.



                                                                      AFFIRMED
