    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Eastern District of Louisiana
    USDC No. 00-CR-172-1-N, 00-CR-172-2-N,
    00-CR-172-3-N, 00-CR-172-4-N

    October 16, 2001
    Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Keith Kisack, Steven Taylor, Rosaious White, and Corey
    Harrison appeal the district court's order denying their motions
    to suppress evidence of firearms which were seized during the
    search of the rental car in which they were riding at the time of
    their arrest.    The defendants failed to carry their burden of
    showing that they had a legitimate expectation of privacy in the
    rental car.     See United States v. Riazco, 
    91 F.3d 752
    , 754-55
    (5th Cir. 1996).    Although we affirm the judgments under Riazco,
    *
    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    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
    Nos. 01-30203, 01-30241,
    01-30311, 01-30312

    we note also that the search of the rental car was justified
    under New York v. Belton, 
    453 U.S. 454
    , 460 (1981).    We would not
    reach a different conclusion under the Sixth Circuit
    jurisprudence cited by Kisack.   See United States v. Hudgins, 
    52 F.3d 115
    , 119 n.2 (6th Cir. 1995); see also United States v.
    Mans, 
    999 F.2d 966
    , 968-69 (6th Cir. 1993).    The judgments are
    AFFIRMED.
