Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Western District of Texas
USDC No. P-97-CR-151-1
_________________________________________________________________
December 31, 1998
Before JOLLY, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Martha Elena De La Rosa-Valenzuela appeals from the district
court’s denial of her motion to suppress the marijuana seized from
her vehicle. She argues that a Border Patrol agent’s tapping of
her vehicle’s gas tank constituted a search under the Fourth
Amendment and that such search was illegal because it was without
consent or probable cause. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. See United States v. Muniz-Melchor, 894 F.2d
1430, 1435-37 (5th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, the judgment of the
district court is
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
