    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee,
    versus
    ROBERT STEVENSON,
    Defendant-Appellant.
    --------------------
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Mississippi
    USDC No. 4:05-CR-63
    --------------------
    Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and GARZA, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Robert Stevenson appeals from his conviction for possession
    of over five grams of cocaine base with intent to distribute.           He
    contends that the drugs found in a can in his vehicle should have
    been suppressed because the search was conducted without a
    warrant and in the absence of probable cause.
    Because Stevenson doesn’t challenge the legitimacy of the
    arrest and concedes that the crack was found in a container in
    the center console of his car, the district court correctly held
    that the officers discovered the drugs as a result of search
    *
    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    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
    No. 06-60243

    incident to a valid arrest.   See New York v. Belton, 
    453 U.S. 454
    , 460-61 (1981).   Consequently, the judgment of the district
    court is AFFIRMED.
