See Local Rule 36(c). 2 UNITED STATES v. MCCROREY OPINION PER CURIAM: Calvin McCrorey, Jr., was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and cocaine base and sentenced to 240 months imprisonment. For the reasons that follow, we affirm his con- viction. McCrorey alleges that the district court erred by allowing the pros- ecution to enter into evidence the fact that some of its witnesses were testifying pursuant to plea agreements. We do not find that the district court abused its discretion by admitting this evidence. United States v. Henderson, 717 F.2d 135, 137-38 (4th Cir. 1983). Neither do we find that the Government improperly vouched for or bolstered the tes- timony of these witnesses. United States v. Sanchez, 118 F.3d 192, 198 (4th Cir. 1997). Finally, we do not find that the district court abused its discretion in sustaining the Government’s objection to limit inquiry into witness Clifford Hoyles’ pending forgery charges. United States v. Bostain, 59 F.3d 474, 480 (4th Cir. 1995) (stating standard of review). McCrorey does not contest the validity of his sentence. Accordingly, we affirm McCrorey’s conviction. 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
