PER CURIAM:

     Jamie Michelle Boomer appeals her conviction, in the wake of

her guilty plea pursuant to a written plea agreement, to one count

of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine.     See 21 U.S.C.A. §§

841, 846 (West 1999 & Supp. 2001).   The only issue Boomer raises on

appeal is that § 841 is unconstitutional in light of Apprendi v.

New Jersey, 

 (2000), a claim previously considered and

rejected by this Court in United States v. McAllister, 

, 231-33 (4th Cir. 2001).     Accordingly, we affirm Boomer’s

conviction and sentence and dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
