BARNES, Circuit Judge:
We hold a Miranda warning (Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602,16 L.E.2d 694 (1966)) is not required in a routine border-crossing case, such as this, when the only question asked defendant at the border was " [I] f it was his vehicle, and he said 'yes'." [R.T. 12]
We affirm the judgment of conviction.
