PER CURIAM.

1
Richard Lee Goddard appeals the district court's denial of Goddard's motion to vacate his sentence.  Goddard claims he did not voluntarily and intelligently plead guilty to a drug-related firearm charge because a police officer used false information to obtain a search warrant for his residence before he entered his guilty plea.  Drugs and weapons were seized in the search.  Although the officer's misconduct was not discovered until after Goddard was sentenced, Goddard is not entitled to relief.  Having pleaded guilty, Goddard cannot challenge the earlier violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.   Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258, 267 (1973);   Smith v. United States, 876 F.2d 655, 657 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 869 (1989).  We thus affirm the district court.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
