PER CURIAM:
Karl Redman pled guilty to possession with intent to distrib-
ute hashish oil. His plea was conditioned upon his right to appeal
the district court’s order denying his motion to suppress. For the
reasons that follow, we find Redman’s claims on appeal fail, and
thus we affirm his conviction.
First, we do not find that the district court’s factual deter-
minations at the suppression hearing were clearly erroneous or that
its legal decision to deny the motion was in error. United States
v. Seidman, 156 F.3d 542, 547 (4th Cir. 1998). Second, we find
that the district court did specifically find that Redman consented
to a search of his passenger compartment on the train and, there-
fore, whether officers had probable cause to search or not is
irrelevant. Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 219 (1973).
Accordingly, we affirm.
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
