PER CURIAM:

     Chester Francis Stone appeals from a 180-month sentence im-

posed following his conditional guilty plea to being a felon in

possession of a firearm, 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(g)(1) (West Supp. 1999).

Stone alleges that the district court erred when it denied his

motion to suppress.      We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.    See United States v. Raymond, 152 F.2d 309, 312

(4th Cir. 1998).     Accordingly, we affirm Stone’s conviction and

sentence.     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
