PER CURIAM:

     Urbana Mendez-Valdez appeals from a forty-two-month sentence

imposed following her convictions for distribution of cocaine

hydrochloride, 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a) (West 1981), and conspiracy to

possess   with   intent   to    distribute   and   to   distribute   cocaine

hydrochloride, 21 U.S.C.A. § 846 (West Supp. 1998).          Mendez-Valdez

challenges the district        court’s relevant conduct determination of

the amount of drugs attributable to her. Finding that the district

court did not clearly err, we affirm Mendez-Valdez’s convictions

and 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.

                                                                     AFFIRMED
