Before BOWMAN, Chief Judge, MURPHY, Circuit Judge, and VIETOR,1 District
      Judge.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Odel Clay pleaded guilty to a federal crack cocaine charge, preserving for appeal
his claim that the District Court2 erred by denying his motion to suppress.




      1
        The Honorable Harold D. Vietor, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa, sitting by designation.
      2
       The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
       Having carefully considered Clay’s appeal, we conclude that the motion to
suppress was correctly denied. Accordingly, Clay’s conviction is affirmed. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
