      Judge.

PER CURIAM.

      Russell D. Fairchild pleaded guilty to a federal methamphetamine charge,
preserving for appeal his Fourth Amendment argument that the District Court2 erred
by denying his motion to suppress.



      1
      The Honorable Donald D. Alsop, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, sitting by designation.
      2
        The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
       Having carefully reviewed Fairchild’s appeal, we conclude that his motion to
suppress was properly denied. Accordingly, Fairchild’s conviction is affirmed. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
