PER CURIAM:
7The United States appeals from an order suppressing evidence obtained from a warrantless search of an automobile following lawful arrest. The order was entered by the District Court on the authority of this court's holding in Heffley v. Hocker, 420 F.2d 881 (9th Cir. 1969). In that case certiorari to the Supreme Court was granted and the case was remanded to this court for further consideration in light of Chambers v. Maroney, 399 U.S. 42, 90 S. Ct. 1975, 26 L. Ed. 2d 419 (1970). Upon remand this court, on the authority of Chambers, held the search there involved to be valid. Heffley v. Hocker, 429 F.2d 1321 (9th Cir. 1970).
8The search here in question presents no distinguishing circumstances. Under Chambers v. Maroney, supra, the search here, as was the one in Heffley v. Hocker, was valid.
9Reversed and remanded with instructions that the order suppressing evidence be vacated and for further proceedings.
