Opinion

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 05-5111

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus MONICA L. AMAKER, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Bluefield. David A. Faber, Chief District Judge. (CR-03-155) Submitted: February 7, 2007 Decided: February 21, 2007

Before WILKINSON, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Timothy P. Lupardus, Pineville, West Virginia, for Appellant. Charles T. Miller, United States Attorney, John L. File, Assistant United States Attorney, Beckley, West Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Following a jury trial, Monica L. Amaker was convicted on one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine base and hydromorphone, 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2000), and one count of possession with intent to distribute hydromorphone, and aiding and abetting the same, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (2000), 18 U.S.C. § 2 (2000). The district

court sentenced Amaker to concurrent terms of eighty-seven months' imprisonment. Amaker appeals, asserting that the district court

erred by denying her motion to suppress the evidence obtained pursuant to a search warrant. For the reasons stated by the

district court in its July 28, 2005 opinion and order, we find that the district court did not err in denying Amaker's motion to suppress. Accordingly, we affirm Amaker's convictions. 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
