PER CURIAM:
Leroy Green appeals from a 240-month sentence imposed fol-
lowing his conditional guilty plea for conspiracy to possess with
the intent to distribute and to distribute crack cocaine, 21 U.S.C.
§ 846 (1994). Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
Green claims that the district court erred when it denied his
motion to suppress. We have reviewed the record and find, from a
totality of the circumstances, that Green’s inculpatory statements
to the police were voluntary. See 18 U.S.C. § 3501(b); see also
United States v. Braxton, 112 F.3d 777, 780-81 (4th Cir. 1997). We
therefore find that the district court did not err in denying
Green’s suppression motion and using these statements in deter-
mining Green’s relevant conduct for sentencing. Accordingly, we
affirm Green’s conviction and sentence. 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
