UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 05-4971

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

CARLOS SCOVENS, a/k/a Lucky,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. William D. Quarles, Jr., District Judge. (CR-05-35-WDQ)

Submitted: April 20, 2006 Decided: April 24, 2006

Before MICHAEL, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Fred Warren Bennett, Gary E. Bair, BENNETT & BAIR, LLP, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellant. Rod J. Rosenstein, United States Attorney, Philip S. Jackson, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Carlos Scovens pled guilty to possession with intent to

distribute cocaine base pursuant to a conditional guilty plea,

reserving the right to challenge the denial of his motion to

suppress. On appeal, he contends that the warrant was overbroad

and was executed in an unconstitutional manner. We have reviewed

the record and the parties’ briefs on appeal, and we find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court in its order denying Scovens’ motion to

suppress. See United States v. Scovens, No. CR-05-35-WDQ (D. Md.

June 14, 2005; entered June 15, 2005). 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
