PER CURIAM:
Robert Earl Cole pled guilty to possession with intent to
distribute cocaine and carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking
crime. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
On appeal, Cole alleges that the government breached an oral
agreement. We do not find that the district court’s factual
finding that the government did not breach the oral plea agreement
was clearly erroneous. United States v. Conner, 930 F.2d 1073,
1076-77 (4th Cir. 1991). Thus, this claim fails. Although we
grant Cole’s motion to file a pro se supplemental brief, we find no
merit to any of the claims raised therein.
Accordingly, we affirm Cole’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
