Per Curiam. After a thorough review of the record
and of the parties' submissions, we affirm. We find no error
in the lower court's conclusion that police did not exceed the
scope of the search warrant by looking through a bag found in
appellant's car or in the glove compartment. "A warrant to
search a vehicle . . . support[s] a search of every part of the
vehicle that might contain the object of the search." United
States v. Ross, 456 U.S. 798, 821 (1982). Once an officer
conducting a search in a lawful manner discovers evidence in
plain view providing probable cause of a crime, that evidence
may be seized. United States v. Robles, 45 F.3d 1, 6 (1st Cir.
1995). This court lacks jurisdiction to consider appellant's
challenge to his sentence. United States v. Rosario-Peralta,
– F.3d –, 1999 WL 1215238 (1st Cir. 1999).
Affirmed. 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
