Catherine C. Blake, District Judge. (CR-98-315-CCB) Submitted: April 10, 2000 Decided: May 11, 2000 Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges. _________________________________________________________________ Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. _________________________________________________________________ COUNSEL Kenneth W. Ravenell, Harry Levy, SCHULMAN, TREEM, KAMIN- KOW, GILDEN & RAVENELL, L.L.C., Baltimore, Maryland; Stan- ley H. Needleman, Brian J. Murphy, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellants. Lynne A. Battaglia, United States Attorney, Lisa M. Tur- ner, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. _________________________________________________________________ Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). _________________________________________________________________ OPINION PER CURIAM: Kevin Campfield and Virginia Douglas each pled guilty to conspir- acy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in viola- tion of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (1994), reserving the right to appeal the denial of their motions to suppress evidence. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(a)(2).
On appeal, they contend that there was no reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop and detain Campfield. They also assert that the search of the bags was not incident to the arrest because the search preceded the arrest. We grant Douglas' motion to file a pro se supple- mental brief, have reviewed the briefs and joint appendix, and find no reversible error.
After a thorough review of the transcript of the hearing on the motions to suppress and the district court's reasoning, we find no error in the district court's denial of the motions to suppress on the grounds that the officers had a reasonable suspicion that the bags Campfield was unloading from the vehicle contained cocaine, that the officers had probable cause to arrest once the dogs alerted on the bags, and that the search of the bags was incident to the arrest. See Ornelas v. United States, 517 U.S. 690, 699 (1996) (providing stan- dard of review). Nor do we find that the district court clearly erred in determining the amount of drugs attributable to Douglas. See United States v. Randall, 171 F.3d 195, 210 (4th Cir. 1999) (stating standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm Campfield's and Douglas' convictions and Douglas' 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.
