PER CURIAM: Urbana Mendez-Valdez appeals from a forty-two-month sentence imposed following her convictions for distribution of cocaine hydrochloride, 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a) (West 1981), and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute cocaine hydrochloride, 21 U.S.C.A. § 846 (West Supp. 1998). Mendez-Valdez challenges the district court’s relevant conduct determination of the amount of drugs attributable to her. Finding that the district court did not clearly err, we affirm Mendez-Valdez’s convictions 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
