Per Curiam. After a thorough review of the record and of the parties' submissions, we affirm. We find no error in the lower court's conclusion that police did not exceed the scope of the search warrant by looking through a bag found in appellant's car or in the glove compartment. "A warrant to search a vehicle . . . support[s] a search of every part of the vehicle that might contain the object of the search." United States v. Ross,

456 U.S. 798, 821

(1982). Once an officer conducting a search in a lawful manner discovers evidence in plain view providing probable cause of a crime, that evidence may be seized. United States v. Robles,

45 F.3d 1, 6

(1st Cir. 1995). This court lacks jurisdiction to consider appellant's challenge to his sentence. United States v. Rosario-Peralta, F.3d ,

1999 WL 1215238

(1st Cir. 1999). Affirmed. 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
