PER CURIAM:

      Michael Marshall appeals his conviction and six-month sentence imposed after his

guilty plea to violating 18 U.S.C. § 1791(a)(2), (b)(4) (2012), possessing a cell phone

while in prison. We affirm.

       On appeal, Marshall argues that the Government failed to demonstrate that the

device he admitted to possessing was a phone—that it was capable of making and

receiving calls. Because Marshall pled guilty, however, he has waived this challenge to

his conviction. See United States v. Gosselin World Wide Moving, N.V., 
411 F.3d 502
,

515 (4th Cir. 2005) (“A voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty is an admission of all the

elements of a formal criminal charge. A defendant who pleads guilty therefore admits all

of the factual allegations made in the indictment, and waives all non-jurisdictional

defects, including the right to contest the factual merits of the charges.”       (internal

citations and quotation marks omitted)). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
