PER CURIAM:

     William Eugene Webb was convicted of possession of a firearm

by a felon, possession of crack cocaine, and carrying a firearm

during a drug trafficking offense.      He challenges the district

court’s denial of his pre-trial motion to suppress.        We have

carefully examined the transcript of the motion to suppress, and we

find the court’s ruling to be without error.    Thus, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. (J.A. at 99-102). 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
