PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Alfonso Carey appeals from the district court's order affirming a conviction for driving while intoxicated.*  Carey contended in his appeal to the district court, as he does here, that the testimony of one of the arresting officers on redirect examination was inadmissible hearsay as to the officer's police report, and that the testimony amounted to improper bolstering of the officer's unimpeached testimony.  Carey did not preserve the hearsay objection for appellate review.  See Fed.  R. Crim.  P. 52.  Further, the officer's testimony was properly admitted because it was elicited in response to the defense's attack, during cross examination, on the veracity and consistency of the officer's testimony about the events surrounding the arrest, as memorialized in the police report.  Because the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the testimony, we affirm Carey's conviction.   United States v. Gravely, 840 F.2d 1156, 1162 (4th Cir. 1988).


2
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

 Carey was tried by a jury before a magistrate judge pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3401 (1988)
